### Installing CDP Guest Service

This example shows how to install Veeam CDP Guest Service and Veeam CDP volume filter driver on workloads in the `Protection Group CDP` protection group.

```
$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "Protection Group CDP"
$workload = Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer -ProtectionGroup $group
Install-VBRDiscoveredComputerCDPAgent -DiscoveredComputer $workload
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRProtectionGroup`](get-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$group` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer`](get-vbrdiscoveredcomputer.md) cmdlet. Set the `$group` variable as the `ProtectionGroup` parameter value. Save the result to the `$workload` variable.
3. Run the `Install-VBRDiscoveredComputerCDPAgent` cmdlet. Set the `$workload` variable as the `DiscoveredComputer` parameter value.
