Hi everyone, 
 
actually i'm going to set up the DPM at our network. So far installation was 
 
easy and now i'm going to add our servers to the protected groups (maybe 
 
wrong translation. I'm using the german version). 
 
I set up a group and added one member to it. Now i'd like to add another 
 
member to that group, cause the second server should be protected by the 
 
same schedule, but the Button 'Add Member' on the right is just disabled. 
 
Also if i right click on the group, the first option is just disabled. I'm 
 
able to rename the group, change the settings or to change the data volume 
 
allocation (again i have a german version and maybe my translations are 
 
slightly different from the original one). But adding a second member is not 
 
possible. 
 
Now i could set up a new group for every server, but that's what i don't 
 
want to do. So why is that button disabled?? 
 
Best regards,

Hey Oliver! 
 
If you look closely, there are 3 different "levels" of items in the list 
 
of "Protection Groups" / "Servers" / and "Folders" (that is the English 
 
translation...) and unfortunately from a usability standpoint, many of the 
 
items in the Actions pane (including Add Members) only work when you are at 
 
the correct "level". So for the Add Members to be enabled, you must 
 
currently select the Protection Group level (right above the Server level, 
 
and two levels above the folder level). 
 
Just make sure you are clicking the correct Protection group which you wish 
 
to add a member to. Also, this behavior affects the other action items, so 
 
if one you need is disabled, try clicking at different levels to make it 
 
become enabled. 
 
Hope this helps and have a great weekend! 
 
Karan - This absolutely stinks from a usability standpoint :-P.

The catch in this one seems to be that the newly created group is still 
 
being initialized. When a replica is being created, the protection group 
 
settings cannot be changed. 
 
Please wait for the replica of the first member to be created and then 
 
select the Protection Group and you should have the Add Member option 
 
enabled. 
 
Let us know how this goes. 
 
Thanks,

Hi everyone, 
 
seems to be the initializing problem. After a while the button was 
 
available. 
 
So far, thanks for your help.
