Enables a DPM protection agent.

Syntax

Default (Default) 

Enable-DPMProductionServer
    [-ProductionServer] <ProductionServer>
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Enable-DPMProductionServer cmdlet enables a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) protection agent on a computer. After you enable a protection agent, DPM enables backup jobs that you schedule for the computer to run.

Examples

Example 1: Enable a protection agent

PS C:\>$DpmPServer = Get-DPMProductionServer -DPMServerName "DpmTsqa01" | Where {$_.Name -eq "dist01.contoso.com"}
PS C:\> Enable-DPMProductionServer -ProductionServer $DpmPServer

The first command gets the DPM protection agent on the computer named dist01.contoso.com for the DPM server named DpmTsqa01. The command stores the result in the $DpmPServer variable.

The second command enables the protection agent stored in $DpmPServer.
