Hi,
we've been (mostly) following this article to set up deduplication for DPM, adapted for
standalone machines. The article also contains instructions to set a few registry values:
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Cluster\Dedup -Name DeepGCInterval -Value 0xFFFFFFFF
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Cluster\Dedup -Name HashIndexFullKeyReservationPercent -Value 70
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Cluster\Dedup -Name EnablePriorityOptimization -Value 1
Trouble is, "HKLM:\Cluster" doesn't exist when you don't have a cluster. Searching
the web for the settings' names showed me a few people who seem to have a similar
problem, but no definitive solution, only a guess.
"DeepGCInterval" is the only setting that appears in a Microsoft document. The
setting would be made in "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ddpsvc\Settings".
My question: can I assume that this is the right place to do ALL three of the
above registry settings? Is this the place where the dedup service looks for
settings when it's not running on a clustered machine? The path seems to imply that.
