These release notes provide information about the Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition 10.3.1 release.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory enables fast, online recovery. Comparison reports highlight what objects and attributes have been changed and deleted in Active Directory enabling efficient, focused recovery at the object or attribute level. Accurate backups and a quicker recovery enable you to reduce the time and costs associated with AD outages and reduce the impact on users throughout your organization.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory is based on patented technology.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3.1 is a release with new features and functionality. See New Features and Enhancements.
This section covers new features and enhancements in Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3.1.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory Version 10.3.1 has updated and validated all cryptographic algorithms used within each component of the product. RMAD 10.3.1 is using FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms and functions. Encryption is used within the product for encryption of backups, encryption of forest recovery project files, and encryption of all user entered passwords. For all encryption, the product uses AES-256 algorithms.
To support copying backups to Secure Storage Servers in environments where NTLM is disabled, Recovery Manager for Active Directory Version 10.3.1 has enhanced the implementation of Secure Storage Servers.
When NTLM is disabled, a standalone, non-domain joined Secure Storage Server cannot pull the backup from remote primary storage. With Version 10.3.1, RMAD now copies backups over a secure RPC channel that is protected by public/private key pairs and does not rely on either NTLM or Kerberos authentication.
The Active Directory Virtual Lab (ADVL) is a component of Recovery Manager for Active Directory that helps you create virtual test environments. This component has been deprecated in RMAD 10.3.1 and is no longer available. To continue to create virtual test environments the restore active directory to clean OS method can be utilized. Using the Restore Active Directory on Clean OS method you can restore on a freshly installed Windows virtual machine using an available AD backup to create a test environment for your disaster recovery plans.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) allows you to monitor the backup and restore operations performed by RMAD. There are two editions of RMAD Management Packs for SCOM: Regular and Limited. With the release of version 10.3.1 both Management Packs have been deprecated and will no longer be available.
Support has been added for US Government GCC High accounts when using Exchange OAuth2 authentication for email notifications.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory supports integrity checks for Active Directory backups. To ensure the integrity of your backup prior to a restore operation, integrity checks are completed by default.
In RMAD version 10.3.1, multiple options have been introduced to select if integrity checks will be performed. Active Directory backup integrity checks are very quick, while BMR and larger backups can take a long time to complete. As a result integrity checks are now optional. Options are available in Computer Collection Advanced properties and during Verify Settings.
After a Scheduled or Manual backup, if Alerts is enabled from the Computer Collection properties, the email notification sent to the user will now include the Integrity check success/failure status. The email notification can contain all integrity check messages or only warnings and errors. You can also configure emails to be sent always or only on warnings and errors.
During the Restore to Clean OS method, the following services will be installed, AD-Domain-Services, DNS, FS-FileServer, RSAT-AD-AdminCenter.
The logic for collecting logs on a domain controller has been moved from a separate service to an operation on the Forest Recovery Agent. RPC Pipes are used to send the collected logs from the domain controller to the Forest Recovery Console.
The password requirements can be modified via the Set-RMADFEGlobalOptions cmdlet with the two new parameters, FRPasswordComplexity and FRPasswordLength.
When creating Azure virtual machines a new option has been introduced to specify private or public IP.
New email notifications (alerts) available for the upload of a backup to cloud storage. Notifications will be sent if a cloud upload fails and backup email notifications are enabled.
