Administrator Guide

• Disable machine account password rotation

• Deploy the Data Protection Manager (DPM) backup infrastructure

• Ensure that the stamp has the latest approved updates

• Congure VLANs on your physical network switches for tenant use

• Review known issues for the current release.

There are other steps, not part of the initial deployment, that you must complete as soon as possible to enable tenants to use the stamp.

For example, you must congure management accounts and tenant VM networks. You may also want to add storage shares.

Verify the product license key

If you specied an incorrect System Center key during deployment, the deployment will complete. However, the Microsoft System Center

components will be installed in evaluation mode. After deployment, you should verify that System Center has a valid retail license key.

To verify the license key in VMM:

1 On the Console VM, use the shortcut on the desktop to open the VMM console.

2 In the top left corner of the VMM console, click the drop-down arrow, and then click About.

Figure 1. About drop-down

3 If you see an Enter Product Key box, this means that System Center was installed in evaluation mode.
