How to Install SCDPM - SCDPM Installation Prerequisites
Although Microsoft has a prescribed way to install SCDPM (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb808735.aspx) I’ve found that it doesn’t always go according to plan; leaving me with an installation which doesn’t work as designed or a completely failed installation.

How to Install SCDPM - Step by Step
The following steps show how to install SCDPM 2007 on the server:
- Logon using a Domain Administrator account.
- Insert the DPM 2007 DVD in the CD drive, or if a virtual machine, attach the DPM ISO to the virtual machine.
