If you need to change the time zone of the DPM server, perform the steps in the following procedure.

To change the time zone of the DPM server

  1. Close DPM Administrator Console.

  2. Stop the DPM service (MsDpm.exe).

  3. Change the time zone on the DPM server in Control Panel by using the Time Zone tab in the Date and Time Properties dialog box.

  4. Open DPM Administrator Console.

    This action restarts the DPM service as well.

  5. In DPM Administrator Console, click the Action menu, and then click Options.

  6. In the Options dialog box, on the Auto Discovery tab, change the time of day for auto discovery to run, and then click OK.

    Changing the schedule for auto discovery causes all DPM jobs to be regenerated with the new time zone of the DPM server.

For more information on time zones, see Coordinating Protection Across Time Zones, later in this chapter.
