Hello!
I've seen this question asked before but with no answers for a solution so ...
I have a hyper-v environment of 2008 r2 servers; one of them has DPM 2010 installed, another has exchange 2010 and the rest are irrelevant in this matter
Whenever I try to add the exchange server to a protection group I get several errors "DPM could not enumerate application component microsoft exchange server ..." and "please make sure the writer is in good state" - in the list all the services from exchange are visible and able to be set in a backup plan except for the exchange database (the only thing that actually is needed to have a backup...)
vss writers are ok, backups on that server work (not the exchange db, but everything else), this same error happens with or without exchange sp1 ...
If possible I'd like a clear answer if something can be done and have a reliable dpm server or do I have to start looking for another backup software (email backups are a must in my organization)
