Step 2: Specify recovery settings for domain controllers

To specify recovery settings for DCs
  1. In the list of domain controllers, select the domain controller whose recovery settings you want to specify.

  2. Open the General tab to specify the recovery settings.

  3. Repeat these steps for other domain controllers in the project.

For more information, see Domain controller recovery settings and progress.

 

Step 3: Start recovery

To start the recovery
  • On the toolbar, click Start Recovery.

 

Recovering SYSVOL

Recovery Manager for Active Directory supports authoritative restore of SYSVOL on the selected domain controllers. Authoritative SYSVOL restores are used in case of critical situations such as divergence of data in the content of the SYSVOL share.

NOTE:

  • If you have very large backups and the backup data is stored on a remote computer (not on domain controllers), you do not need to specify the backups for non-authoritative domain controllers in Forest Recovery Console to restore the SYSVOL data. When the backup is not selected, the SYSVOL data is replicated from the authoritative domain controller by the replication service. In this case, the full backup information is not copied to the domain controller that saves the disk space.

  • Along with the SYSVOL restore, Recovery Manager for Active Directory allows you to perform the non-authoritative restore of RODCs using the Restore SYSVOL recovery method.

To restore the SYSVOL folder from backup, perform the following steps
  1. Open your recovery project where the authoritative restore of SYSVOL will be performed.

  2. On the menu bar, click Tools | Recovery Project Settings.

  3. Open the Recovery Mode tab.

  4. In the Recovery scope drop-down list, select SYSVOL Recovery. If the SYSVOL Recovery scope is selected, the Restore SYSVOL method is set on the General tab in the domain controller recovery settings and cannot be changed.

  5. Select the check boxes next to the domains you want to recover and specify a domain controller for each domain to perform the authoritative restore. If the domain controller is not specified, it will be selected automatically. For more information, see How does Recovery Manager for Active Directory select a DC for an authoritative (primary) restore of SYSVOL during forest recovery.

  6. Optionally, you can specify default credentials to access domain controllers in the selected domains.

  7. Click OK.

 

Deleting domains during recovery

When recovering an Active Directory forest, you can use Recovery Manager for Active Directory to selectively delete particular domains from the forest being recovered. You may need to delete domains when, for example, the account you use to recover an Active Directory forest does not have sufficient permissions to access and recover some domains in the forest. In this case, you may want to sacrifice these domains and recover the forest without them.

Important:

  • You cannot selectively recover domains and delete domains at the same time. During recovery, use only one of these two features. For more information about selectively recovering domains, see Selectively recovering domains in a forest.

  • You cannot delete the root domain of the forest being recovered.

To delete a domain from the forest being recovered, you need to set the recovery method for all DCs in that domain to Do not recover. Then, after you run the recovery operation, Recovery Manager for Active Directory does the following:

  • Deletes the domain’s partition.

  • Cleans up metadata of all DCs in the domain from the forest.

To delete a domain while recovering an Active Directory forest
  1. In the Forest Recovery Console, open or create a recovery project.

  2. Set the recovery method for all DCs in the domain you want to delete to Do not recover:

    1. Select a DC in the list.

    2. On the General tab, from the Recovery method list, select Do not recover.

  3. Specify other settings for your recovery project as appropriate, and then click Start Recovery on the toolbar.
