Validate that the tenant VMs are protected
After you run the Protect-TenantVMs runbook, you can view which DPM server will protect the tenant VM by using the VMM console.
1 In the VMM console, open the VMs and Services workspace.
2 On the
Home tab of the ribbon, in the Show group, click VMs.
3 In the
VMs list, locate the VM, and then view the information in the ProtectedByDPMServer column.
