DPM Protection for Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

Attempting to add protection to a Windows 10 Anniversary Edition workstation recently failed with the DPM server showing the workstation as ‘unavailable’ when looking at the ‘Production Servers’ list in the console. It appears that the upgrade to Anniversary Edition removes a file that the DPM agent relies on, ‘sisbkup.dll’, and that as a consequence the services cannot start on the protected workstation. The resolution is to copy the ‘sisbkup.dll’ file from c:\Windows\System32 on an older version of Windows 10 into C:\Windows\System32 on the Anniversary Update machine and then retry the connection from DPM.
