Hi there and Welcome to my System Center Data Protection Manager Blog !
My name is Rod Verdie. When I worked at Vancouver School Board as Enterprise Systems Specialist one of my duties were provide reliable backup for all IT systems of VSB using System Center 2012 DPM ( you can find my profile here: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rod-verdie/6/917/103 ).
In this blog I want to share my knowledge and experience in implementation, maintenance and troubleshooting System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager.
Your comments and thoughts are very welcome !
After you installed DPM agent on the protected server which is not on the same domain as DPM server you have to run:
On Protected Server in elevated command prompt navigate to : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin and run:
SetDpmServer.exe –dpmServerName DPMSERVERNAME(FQDN) -isNonDomainServer -userName dpmaccount -productionserverdnssuffix domainname
where dpmaccount – give some name to the new account with password
Example:

On the DPM Server you can run script Attach-NonDomainServer.ps1 in DPM PowerShell: PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\Attach-NonDomainServer.ps1
Enter DPM server name, Protected server FQDN and the same credentials you use for configuration on the protected server:

Or you can use DPM Console to attach agent:
