In the SCOM Operations console, Recovery Manager for Active Directory components are represented as three health state views (separate for each type of objects) and two multi-level diagrams. There are three types of RMAD objects in these diagrams: Recovery Manager Console instances, Computer Collections existing in the Recovery Manager Console and Computers explicitly or implicitly added to Computer Collections. Each object has properties and health state determined by these properties.
In the multi-level diagrams All Components in Computer Collections and All Recovery Manager Console Instances under Monitoring | Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory, health of upper-level components depends on the health of lower-level components.

In general, a forest recovery is necessary if none of the domain controllers in the forest can function normally or if the corrupted domain controllers can spread dangerous data to other domain controllers. Some examples of forest-wide failures include:
None of the domain controllers can replicate with its replication partner.
Changes cannot be made to Active Directory at any domain controller.
New domain controllers cannot be installed in any domain.
All domain controllers have been logically corrupted or physically damaged to a point that business continuity is impossible (for instance, all business applications that depend on Active Directory are non-functional).
A rogue administrator has compromised the Active Directory environment.
An adversary intentionally or an administrator accidentally runs a script that spreads data corruption across the Active Directory forest.
An adversary intentionally or an administrator accidentally extends the Active Directory schema with malicious or conflicting changes.
Important |
When you encounter the symptoms of a forest-wide failure, work with Microsoft Customer Support Service to determine the cause of the failure and evaluate any possible remedies. Because of the complexity and critical nature of the forest recovery process, the recovery of the entire Active Directory forest should be viewed as a last resort. Please consult Microsoft Customer Support Service before you take a definitive decision. |
