Reports about Active Directory objects

The Online Restore Wizard provides reports that allow you to track changes of Active Directory® (AD) objects by comparing the state of objects in backup and in Active Directory®. You can also compare AD objects held in two backups.

You can generate and view a detailed report about a particular compare or restore operation that RMAD performed on AD objects. Alternatively, you can generate and view a summary of all compare and restore operations performed with RMAD on AD and AD LDS (ADAM) objects. Performing a compare operation on an AD or AD LDS (ADAM) object does not modify that object in any way.

To generate and view a report on AD objects

  1. To start Online Restore Wizard, open Recovery Manager Console. Then right-click the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console tree root and select Online Restore Wizard.

  2. Step through the wizard until you are on the Wizard Operation Mode page, then do one of the following:

    • If you want to compare AD objects in a backup against those in live Active Directory® or restore AD objects and view the restore operation report, select Compare, restore, and report changes in Active Directory.

    • If you want to compare Active Directory® objects in two backups, select Compare two backups and report the differences.

  3. Step through the wizard until you are on the Action Selection page. Select Compare, analyze, and, optionally, restore.

  4. Step through the wizard until you are on the Additional Options page. Select Generate report, then specify what kind of information you want included in the report.

  5. Step through the wizard until you are on the Operation Option page. Click View Report.

You can use the Expand all or Collapse all element provided in the report to expand or collapse all object entries displayed in the report.

To view a summary of all compare and restore operations that RMAD performed on AD and AD LDS (ADAM) objects, click the View Summary Report button at the bottom of the report window.

 

Reports about AD LDS (ADAM) objects

The Online Restore Wizard provides reports that allow you to track changes of Active Directory® (AD) objects by comparing the state of objects in backup and in a live AD LDS (ADAM) instance. You can also compare AD LDS (ADAM) objects held in two backups.

You can generate and view a detailed report about a particular compare or restore operation performed on AD LDS (ADAM) objects with RMAD. Alternatively, you can generate and view a summary of all compare and restore operations performed with RMAD on AD and AD LDS (ADAM) objects. Performing a compare operation on an AD or AD LDS (ADAM) object does not modify that object in any way.

To generate and view a report on AD LDS (ADAM) objects

  1. To start Online Restore Wizard for AD LDS (ADAM), open Recovery Manager Console. Then right-click the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console tree root and select Online Restore Wizard for AD LDS (ADAM).

  2. Step through the wizard until you reach the Action Selection page. Select Compare, analyze, and, optionally, restore.

  3. Step through the wizard until you reach the Reporting Options page. Select Generate report, then specify what kind of information you want in the report.

Reports about Group Policy objects

The Group Policy Restore Wizard helps you generate comparison reports that allow you to track changes of Group Policy objects by comparing their state in a backup and in Active Directory®.

To generate and view a report on Group Policy objects

  1. To start Group Policy Restore Wizard, open Recovery Manager Console. Then right-click the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console tree root and select Group Policy Restore Wizard.

  2. Step through the wizard until you are on the Backup Selection page. Select the backup that includes the Group Policy objects whose state you want to compare with that in Active Directory®.

  3. Step through the wizard until you are on the Group Policy Object Selection page.

  4. In the list, select the check boxes next to the Group Policy objects you want to compare, and then click View Report.

Note that the GPO comparison reports in the Group Policy Restore Wizard do not support providing information about certain Group Policy settings. For a list of unsupported Group Policy settings, see Quest Knowledge Base Article 12024 “Information on Some Group Policy Settings May Be Missing from the Group Policy Object Comparison Report” at Quest Support.

 

Data about who modified Active Directory objects

You can use the Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) reports to find out which user modified specific Active Directory® objects. To provide this functionality, RMAD requires another Quest product - Change Auditor for Active Directory. For details, see Integration with Change Auditor for Active Directory.

To generate a report that shows who modified specific AD objects

  1. To start Online Restore Wizard, open Recovery Manager Console. Then right-click the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console tree root and select Online Restore Wizard.

  2. Step through the wizard until you are on the Wizard Operation Mode page, then do one of the following:

    • If you want to compare AD objects in a backup against those in live Active Directory or restore AD objects and view the restore operation report, select Compare, restore, and report changes in Active Directory.

    • If you want to compare Active Directory objects in two backups, select Compare two backups and report the differences.

  3. Step through the wizard until you are on the Action Selection page. Select Compare, analyze, and, optionally, restore.

  4. Step through the wizard until you reach the Reporting Options page. Select Generate report, then specify what kind of information you want in the report.

  5. Select the Include Change Auditor "Who" data in reports checkbox, and then specify the Change Auditor database you want to use. Also, you can select the Include subsequent changes from CA on deleted objects option. When this option is selected, RMAD restores deleted object(s) and continuously restores the last change (if any) that was made to the object properties after creating the backup, using data from the Change Auditor database.

  6. Step through the wizard until you reach the Operation Option page. Click View Report.
