That's what I thought too, but found several references that it needed to be installed prior to installing DPM 2007, although, we are running DPM and I don't remember installing it. Supposedly this command installs it on 08. start /wait ocsetup.exe SIS-Limited /quiet /norestart
There is also ocsetup SIS without the Limited option. Not finding much info on those commands. 08R2 uses powershell to do this, but I've not had time to test any of it. From: Michael B.

From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 September 2010 13:41 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SIS Looking for thoughts and opinions on enabling this on server 08 and 08R2 for general file servers. I've not done this, just thinking about doing it. Anyone done it and what was the outcome. Background. I am attending a meeting for our Community College which is being hosted by NetApp and they are bragging about dedup and all the benefits in data reduction. I don't think we can afford their system, but if I could get a reasonable reduction by using something we already have, I'd use it. Also, anyone have a recommendation for a free or very low cost utl that would scan a drive and report on duplicate files. I know I can google for a util and will, but would also appreciate any "words of wisdom from you folk". Thanks.
