Hi,
Quick post on one thing to check if you are expericening the following symtoms/issues on a DPM-server:
- DPM AccessManager Service not starting
- DPM Accessmanager Service fails to start
- DPM service not starting or having trouble restarting
- Msdpm cannot be found
- Unable to remove agents
- Various 9xx errors in the event viewer
Resolution:
*** Important! Always create a backup of the DPM-database before doing any changes! ***
- Open SQL Management Studio on the dpm server and connect to the instance of your DPM sql engine
- Go to DPMDatabase (in my case: DPMDB_2012) > Tables > dbo.tbl_DLS_GlobalSetting
- Choose "Edit the top 200 rows" of that table and you will find a property called: DBRecovery
- The value should be 0, sometimes while doing dpmsyncs and other attempted repairs to dpm, this will be set to 1 and never change back to 0.
I hope this will help someone with their troubleshooting!
