So here are my concise install steps.
1. Copy the protection agent files from the DPM server to the untrusted server. Ensure that you get the correct “bitness” and the latest agent:
So in my environment:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\ProtectionAgents\RA\4.1.3313.0\i386
and I copied to: C:\DPM on the untrusted computer
2. Install the agent on the untrusted computer by running the .exe
3. After install is complete start an elevated command prompt and run the following:
CD c:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin
SetDpmServer.exe –dpmServerName MYDPMSERVER.DOMAIN.local -isNonDomainServer -userName DPMAdmin -productionServerDnsSuffix DOMAIN.local
This syntax is as follows:
SetDpmServer.exe | The program you are running |
–dpmServerName | he DPM server this untrusted machine will connect to |
–isNonDomainServer | Tells the DPMAgent that this is not domain joined |
–userName | The New user that will be created on the untrusted machine for running backups |
–productionServerDnsSuffix | Uhhh – The DNS Suffix of the Production Server…… |
4. On pressing return you will be prompted twice for a password, make a note of this as you will need it when attaching the agent to the DPM server (step XXXXXX)
The screen should then resemble something like this:
5. If you check in Users on the untrusted machine you should see the following:
The DPM user has the following group membership:
6. You are now ready to attach the untrusted machine in DPM.
7. As you can see in my environment the Agent version is older than all of the Trusted machines, in DPM2010 this update would be in the install folder and all would be good, for some reason its not there on the 2012 install.
8. The update in this case is Update Rollup 2 for System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2802159
Which can be applied by Windows Update on the untrusted machine.

I'm revisiting this post today as I got hit by a little issue on the server this was installed on. Once the user is created ensure you set the password to not expire and for the user not able to change the password (or whatever password policy you have):
Without this you will get the following error in the DPM management console:
