Odd DPM Agent Behavior

Several people are reporting an issue with the DPM File Agent’s service starting/stopping after applying recent hotfixes. The symptoms are in the event logs and resemble:
DPM File Agent service entered a running state.
DPM File Agent service was successfully sent a start control.
DPM File Agent service entered the stopped state.
This behavior occurs on a frequent and definitely not designed basis.
Anyone experiencing this problem should add a comment to this post and/or post in the DPM NG with details at microsoft.public.dataprotectionmanager… or the web UI through the Community page at microsoft.com/dpm. Please specify whether you recently installed any DPM or other product hotfixes. Thanks!
