In this step, select the domains you want to recover in your recovery project. This step presumes that you have already created a recovery project for your forest. For more information on how to create a recovery project, see Creating a recovery project.
Open the recovery project where you want to select domains to recover.
On the menu bar, click Tools | Recovery Project Settings.
Open the Recovery Mode tab.
In the Recovery mode drop-down list, select Domain Recovery.
Select the check boxes next to the domains you want to recover.
Optionally, you can specify default credentials to access domain controllers in the selected domains.
Click OK.
The recovery of the domains you selected may affect computers in other domains. These computers will be displayed in your recovery project.
In the list of domain controllers, select the domain controller whose recovery settings you want to specify.
Open the General tab to specify the recovery settings.
Repeat these steps for other domain controllers in the project.
For more information, see Domain controller recovery settings and progress.
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.
Verify the correct replication of the SYSVOL folder on the domain controller. In case of restoring the SYSVOL folder on one domain controller, make sure the SYSVOL folder matches on all other domain controllers.
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.
Open your recovery project where the authoritative restore of SYSVOL will be performed.
On the menu bar, click Tools | Recovery Project Settings.
Open the Recovery Mode tab.
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.
Select the Restore Sysvol from backup checkbox to associate the selected domain controller with a backup.
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.
Optionally, you can specify default credentials to access domain controllers in the selected domains.
