Question on the dependaties/relationships between system center management tools
Have a potential client with following setup:
3 Node Hyper-V failover cluster.
SCCM Server (Service not running and SCCM DB is offline)
SCOM Server (Service not running and SCOM DB is offline)
SCVMM Server (Service not running and SCOM DB is offline)
DPM - two DPM servers one replicates the other. DPM is online and backuping up the Failover cluster. No issues on DPM as far as I can tell.
As far as I can see SCCM, SCOM, VMM were never confgiured correctly - logs filled with various errors going back years. All these errors stopped one month ago however - reason is the previous IT admin turned off these services (Services stoped, databases not running).
Question - How will DPM react to the other System center services being offline for a month? Are the other System center components required for DPM to continue running correctly.

they are totally independent products and you can't install ALL of them on 1 server

Excellant information. Thanks very much
Update post answer - current branch of SCCM now includes High availability but is still only meant for certain things. They still advise that if CM goes down, scrap it and build new.
