DPM 2010 Setup Pre-Requisite Checker Tool download
Microsoft recently has released the DPM 2010 Setup Pre-Requisite Checker tool.
You can find the download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6bfe19b9-1302-4dbb-a202-c20159d67057
Make sure you read the instructions on that page well...
- The Tool will NOT run if you have a DPM agent or the DPM Management Shell installed on the server.
- The Tool will automatically install VCRedist 2008, enable the Powershell role and install .net 3.5 SP1
- It will ask you if you are going to use the dedicated SQL instance or a remote one
- It will install Doctor Watson (even if it is already installed)
- It will install SIS if not yet installed
- It will check if you have MSI 4.5 (and install if not)
- It will check for KB 975759 and install it if necessary
- And then you have the possibility to launch the SQL Server Configuration Checker.
So as you can read, it will prepare your server for the installation of DPM. So in my opinion, they should change the name and make it the DPM 2010 Setup Pre-Requisite Installer tool :-)
