Backup a workgroup or untrusted domain machine
in this article I will show you how DPM 2010 can backup
in the untrusted machine login as administrator , copy the RA folder from the DPM 2010 Server,
then install the agent manually.
in the command prompt , go to C:\program File\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin
run SetDPMServer.exe –dpmservername yourDPMServerName –isNonDomainServer –username DPMagent
then you will be prompted to enter the password for that username
note this procedure will create a username DPMagent as a local user on the protected machine,
in the DPM Server click on protection group then protect a client then select attach agents , then select a computer in a WorkGroup or untrusted domain , then click Next
in the selected Computer write the computer name and the username and password that you identify in the step in a above , then click ADD
in the summary click on attach
