Please rate your experience Yes No. Additional cores can then be licensed in increments of two cores one 2-pack Core License for gradual increases in core density growth. Core-based licensing. System Center server management licensing is based on the number of physical cores on the servers under management, consistent with the Windows Server model.

Consistent licensing model for server management and client management, respectively. Core-based licenses for server management. User-based or operating system environment OSE —based license for client management. Licenses required only for endpoints being managed. System Center server management licenses have two editions differentiated by virtualization rights only:. There is no differentiation between the types of workloads you can manage with either edition.

The only difference between the editions is the number of operating system environments OSEs that you can manage when all physical cores on the server are licensed. Datacenter edition allows for the management of any number of OSEs virtual machines or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores on the server are licensed.

Standard edition allows for the management of up to two OSEs virtual machines or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores on the server are licensed. However, TB is only a soft limit. Validation is underway to test a higher limit.

This guidance will be updated post completion of the validation. All protected computers need at least. DPM protection agent must be installed on protected computer. For more information, see Set up the protection agent. Server operating systems protected by DPM must be bit. DPM supports data protection across forests as long as you establish a forest-level, two-way trust between the separate forests. DPM can protect servers and workstations across domains within a forest that has a two-way trust relationship with the DPM server domain.

Without two-way trust, DPM can't protect computers in workgroups or untrusted domains. For more information, see Back up and restore workloads in workgroups and untrusted domains. If you're protecting data over a wide area network WAN , you'll need a minimum bandwidth of kilobits per second Kbps.

When you recover data containing mount points, you'll need to manually recreate your mount point hierarchy. System Volume Information folder.

To protect system information for a computer you'll need to select the computer's system state as the protect group member. You can also protect the following workloads in workgroups and untrusted domains using NTLM or certificate authentication:. Workaround : If you want to protect a workload that isn't in a trusted domain, see Prepare computers in workgroups and untrusted domains for exact details of what's supported and what authentication is required. Only file data volumes, shares, folders can be backed up incrementally.

Workaround : Use disk or a combination of disk and cloud storage Azure Backup for short-term backup of these workloads. Issue : DPM doesn't support multiple long-term backup goals if you only have a single tape drive. Only file-consistent snapshots are supported. Issue : In order to backup Hyper-V server clusters they must be located in the same domain as the DPM server or in a trusted or child domain. You can back up servers and clusters in an untrusted domain or workload using NTLM or certificate authentication for a single server, or certificate authentication only for a cluster.

Issue: DPM doesn't support the backup of virtual machine data on pass-through disks that present volumes to the virtual machine or that use a remote VHD. Workaround: We recommend that in this scenario you use host-level backup of the VHD files using DPM, and install and agent on the virtual machine to back up data that isn't visible on the host. Issue : Support for backup up of primary and replica secondary virtual machines depends on the DPM version as summarized in this table. Be aware of these limitations:.

DPM running as an Iaas virtual machine, in Azure, can protect some workloads running as Azure virtual machines. For details see the DPM protection support matrix.
