About this task
This installation includes only the Data Protection for Microsoft
Hyper-V Management Console, Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V PowerShell cmdlets, and the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V license file.

Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V installer automatically
disables the automount feature with the
diskpart command on the Windows operating system. This action is required to show
correct drive letter assignments and to hide the system reserved disk in the

If you do not plan to
run file restore operations, or if you do not care that incorrect drive letter assignments and the
system reserved disk are displayed in the file restore interface, you can enable the automount
feature after completing the installation.
