Problem on manually Updating DPM Agent to 2012 R2 RU6 on passive node of SQL 2012 and 2014 Failover Clusters (With CSV on 2014)

Hi,

I would like confirmation that it is not possible to update (doing a manual install/update on the server) to rollup 6 agent on a passive sql 2012 or 2014 failover cluster node. More so I was not able to uninstall the dpm agent from the passive nodes. Only after failing over the sql instances I was able to update the agent with no problems what so ever.

The eventviewer show error 1023:

Product: Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent - Update 'Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent Update - KB3030574' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\Windows\\Temp\MSDPMAgentPatchInstall.LOG.

The above mentioned servers are in an untrusted domain and connected to dpm by using certificates.

I did some more test and it seems that the MSDTC Resource group needs to be active or the manual installation fails. It does install version 4.2.1205 but not the patch 4.2.1312. Whether DPM uses CErtificates does not maater in this case.
 
Regards,
