PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Microsoft Application Agent Exchange Server User Guide

Register the PowerProtect agent service to a different server address on Windows

The PowerProtect agent service is registered to a particular PowerProtect Data Manager server during the agent installation by the installer. If needed, you can register the agent service to a different PowerProtect Data Manager server address. If there are multiple agents installed on a host, all agents will be re-registered to the new PowerProtect server.

The agent service can only be registered to a single PowerProtect Data Manager server.

On Windows, perform the following steps to register the agent service to a different server address.

1. To unregister from the current PowerProtect Data Manager server, go to the C:\Program Files\DPSAPPS\AgentService directory and run unregister.bat.
2. In the dbs\v1 directory, rename the copies.db file to copies-backup.db.

3. To register the agent service to the different server address, run register.bat and provide the new PowerProtect Data Manager server IP address or hostname.

4. Verify the agent registration status:

   1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Application Agents.

   2. In the Application Agents window, select the entry that contains the agent hostname and ensure that the status is Registered.

5. To perform asset discovery for the agent:

   1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Asset Sources.

      The Asset Sources window appears.

   2. Select the Exchange Server Host tab.

   3. Select the agent hostname and click Discover. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

      When you select Infrastructure > Assets, the Assets window displays the discovered assets.
