What Is Auto Discovery?
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007
Once each day, Data Protection Manager (DPM) queries Active Directory Domain Services to discover new servers. This process is referred to as auto discovery.
Note
Auto discovery is limited to a DPM server's domain.
DPM lists the new server the next time you open the Protection Agent Installation Wizard. To start protecting data on a new server, install a protection agent on the server and then add the data sources to a new or existing protection group.
By default, auto discovery runs at 1:00 A.M. each day. You can modify the auto discovery schedule to better accommodate your network traffic flow or other requirements. For more information, see How to Modify the Auto Discovery Schedule.
