DESCRIPTION

Restores the Active Directory objects that have specified parameters from a backup.
You can only use this cmdlet when Windows PowerShell is started using MTA.
To start Windows PowerShell using MTA, run this command: PowerShell -mta

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> $backups = Get-RMADBackup | Sort-Object -Property date -Descending

C:\PS>$object = Get-RMADObject -Id "user1"

C:\PS>Restore-RMADObject -Id $object.ObjectInfo.Guid -Backup $backups[0] -UseAgentlessMethod -NoReport

In the first line of this example, the Get-RMADBackup cmdlet gets all registered backups and sorts them by date in the descending order.
Then, the backup objects are stored in the $backups variable.

Example 2

PS C:\> $b = Get-RMADBackup -Id 1

C:\PS>Restore-RMADObject -Id "user1" -Backup $b -Attribute samAccountName,description -ReportUnchangedAttributes

Start-RMADReportViewer

In the first line of this example, the Get-RMADBackup cmdlet gets the registered backup whose ID is 1.
Then, the backup object is stored in the $b variable.

Set-RMADCollection


external help file: QuestSoftware.RecoveryManager.AD.PowerShell.dll-Help.xml
Module Name: Quest.RecoveryManager.AD.PowerShell
online version:

SYNOPSIS

Sets properties for a computer collection.

SYNTAX

Name (Default)

Set-RMADCollection [-Name] <String[]> [-BackupComponents <BackupComponents>] [-Properties <Hashtable>]
 [-Schedule <Schedule[]>] [-ScheduleCredential <PSCredential>] [-AgentCredentialEnabled <Boolean>]
 [-AgentCredential <PSCredential>] [-StorageCredentialEnabled <Boolean>] [-StorageCredential <PSCredential>]

 [-RetentionPolicyEnabled <Boolean>] [-RetentionPolicyCount <Int32>] [-PassThru] [-IgnoreReadOnly] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Sets properties for the Recovery Manager computer collection you specify.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Set-RMADCollection -Name Collection1 -BackupComponents ActiveDirectory,Registry,GroupMembership,ForestRecoveryMetadata

This command sets properties for the computer collection named Collection1.

Example 2

PS C:\> Set-RMADCollection * -RetentionPolicyEnabled $false

This command disables all backup retention policies for all existing computer collections.

Example 3

PS C:\> $c = Get-RMADCollection | Where-Object { $_.AgentCredentialEnabled -eq $true }

C:\PS>$cred = Get-Credential

C:\PS>Set-RMADCollection -InputObject $c -AgentCredential $cred

The first command in this example gets objects representing the computer collections whose properties are set to access Backup Agent and backup files with a specific user account.
Then the command saves the computer collection objects in the $c variable.

Example 4

PS C:\> $a = Get-RMADCollection -Name "Collection1"

C:\PS>Set-RMADCollection -InputObject $a[1] -Properties @{BackupComponents="ActiveDirectory","BootFiles"; UsePreinstalledAgent=$true}

In the first line of this example, the Get-RMADCollection cmdlet gets the Computer Collection whose name is Collection1 and saves it to the $a variable.
In the second line of this example, the Set-RMADCollection cmdlet sets the components to be backed up (that is, Active Directory and boot files) and specifies to use preinstalled Backup Agent for backup operations.
For a complete list of items you can include in the braces, see the description of the Properties parameter.

Example 5

PS C:\> $schedule=(New-RMADSchedule -Daily -StartDate "9/20/2022 10:00" -DaysInterval 1), (New-RMADSchedule -Daily -StartDate "9/20/2022 22:00" -DaysInterval 1)

C:\PS>Set-RMADCollection -InputObject $col -Properties @{EnableEmailLog=$true; EmailLogTo="administrator@mydomain.com"; EmailLogLevel="Everything"}

This example illustrates how to back up a Computer Collection by using two backup schedules.
The first line of this example creates two backup creation schedules and stores them in the $schedule variable.
One schedule invokes the backup operation once in every two days at 10 a.m.
Another schedule invokes the backup operation once in every two days at 10 p.m.
The two backup schedules become effective starting from the 20th September 2022.
The second line of this example enables e-mail notifications for the Computer Collection.
The recipient address for e-mail notifications is administrator@mydomain.com.
The e-mail notifications provide information about all backup events.

Example 6

PS C:\> $cred = Get-Credential

C:\PS>Set-RMADCollection -Name MyCollection -Properties @{AgentSideScriptBeforeBackupEnabled = $true; AgentSideScriptBeforeBackup = 'Set-Disk -Number 5 -IsOffline $false'; AgentSideScriptAfterBackupEnabled = $true; AgentSideScriptAfterBackup = 'Set-Disk -Number 5 -IsOffline $true'; AgentSideScriptCredential = $cred}

This example illustrates how to customize your environment by running PowerShell scripts on the domain controller before and after creating a backup.
