When you trying to protect W8 clients, you get an error ID:30156, ID:31207 or ID:31209

When you try to protect W8 clients with DPM 2010 or DPM 2012 (RU3), you get some error messages :

DPM is unable to continue protection for because the change tracking information is corrupt (ID 30156 Details: The system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002))

Cannot perform creation of a recovery point on a replica which is pending manual replica creation (ID: 31207)

Cannot perform creation of a recovery point on a replica which is inconsistent (ID: 31209)


# DPM 2012 workaround
On the protected W8 clients :

1. Located the dpmfilter.inf file and right-click and choose install.
2. Open an administrative command prompt and run: fltmc load dpmfilter

(dpmfilter.inf => C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin)

# DPM 2010 workaround
On the protected W8 clients :

1. browse to the registry path : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\2.0.
2. Create a DWORD registry value named ForceFixup and set it to1.

Or

1. Located the dpmfilter.inf file and right-click and choose install.
2. Open an administrative command prompt and run: fltmc load dpmfilter

As soon as you apply a workaround, you may have to perform a consistency check and your W8 protections will be fine.
