Revoking licenses

When the actual number of user accounts exceeds the licensed number, Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) returns a warning message each time you back up data. In this case, you can revoke licenses from the domains whose backups you no longer need. The revoked licenses are returned to the pool of available licenses and you can allocate them to a different domain.

Caution

When you revoke licenses from a domain, all backups created by RMAD for that domain get deleted. You should only revoke licenses from a domain if you no longer need backups created for that domain.

To revoke licenses from a domain

  1. In the console tree, right-click the root node, and then click About.

  2. In the About dialog box, click the License tab.

  3. On the License tab, select the domain from the License Usage list, and then click Revoke.

  4. In the confirmation message box, click Yes.

Managing Backup Agent

Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) employs a Backup Agent to back up data on domain controllers and AD LDS (ADAM) hosts added to Computer Collections. For this reason, the Backup Agent must be installed on each computer where you plan to back up data by using RMAD.

For each Computer Collection, you can specify whether you want to use only preinstalled instances of Backup Agent or want to automatically install Backup Agent when necessary. You can configure RMAD in one of the following ways:

  • Use preinstalled Backup Agent only. When configured this way, RMAD will only use the Backup Agent you manually preinstalled on the computers in the Computer Collection.

  • Use preinstalled Backup Agent and automatically install the agent when necessary. With this method, RMAD will use preinstalled Backup Agent if it is present on the target computer. If the Backup Agent is missing, RMAD will automatically install it before backing up data on the target computer, and then will automatically remove the automatically installed agent upon the backup operation completion.

You can specify one of these methods in the Computer Collection properties. For more information, see Agent Settings tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
