Hello Everyone,
System Center DPM 2012 is not supported running on Windows Server 2012. We have had reports of DPM 2012 console crashes when navigating to the recovery tab if DPM 2012 is installed on Windows server 2012. This issue is fixed in System Center 2012 SP1 which supports being installed on Windows 2012 operating system.
If you are already in this condition, you have two options:
A) You can upgrade to System Center 2012 Sp1.
B) You can backup the DPMDB, rebuild the DPM server using Windows 2008 R2 install DPM 2012, then restore your current database. The process is explained in the below technet article.
Recovering DPM servers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj244606.aspxWe also do not support protecting Windows Server 2012 workloads using SCS DPM 2012, you must upgrade to DPM 2012 Sp1. Please do not expect any support for DPM 2012 running on Windows Server 2012, or issues while protecting data sources in Windows Server 2012.
