Recovery Manager for AD 10.3 - User Guide

Action Selection

Use this page to specify what you want to do with the objects you selected.

• Compare, analyze, and optionally restore. With this option, the wizard performs per-attribute comparison of selected objects between a backup and AD LDS (ADAM) instance, and allows you to proceed to the object restore.

• Restore (skip compare analysis). This option allows you to proceed to the restore of the objects specified on the previous page of the wizard.

Processing Options

Use this page to select the operation option, to specify whether to process the objects' child objects, and how to process object attributes.

• Child objects processing. In this area, you can use the following elements:

  • Process no child objects. Processes only the selected objects.

  • Process all child objects. Processes the selected objects and all their child objects.

  • Process child objects of selected types. Processes the selected objects and their child objects of the types you specify using the Select Object Types button.

  • Select Object Types. Displays the Select Object Types dialog box that allows you to select the child object types to be processed.

• Attribute-level processing. In this area, you can use the following elements:

Additional Options

Use this page to specify whether or not you want to generate a comparison or restore report and what information you want in the report.

• Generate report. When this check box is selected, the wizard generates a report based on the settings you have specified.

• Report changed objects only. When this check box is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the objects that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the objects that the wizard has modified or undeleted during the restore.

• Report changed attributes only. When this check box is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the object attributes that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the object attributes the wizard has modified during the restore.

• Include Change Auditor "Who" data in reports. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes the information on users who modified certain Active Directory® objects. To use this option, you must have Change Auditor for Active Directory installed in the home Active Directory® forest of Recovery Manager for Active Directory.

• Include subsequent changes from CA on deleted objects. When this option is selected, RMAD restores deleted object(s) and continuously restores the last change (if any) that was made to the object attributes after creating the backup, using data from the Change Auditor database.

• Database. Allows you to specify the name of Change Auditor database.

  To specify the CA database server, instance, port, and name, use the following format: <Server Name>\<Instance Name>,<Port>\<Database Name>. Example: testserver.domain.com\testinstance,1432\ChangeAuditorDB

• Account used to access CA database. Allows you to specify a user account to access the Change Auditor database.

  By default, the wizard accesses the Change Auditor database with the credentials of the current user that RMAD is running under. To choose a different account, click Change, and then select SQL Server authentication using the below credentials, enter the info and select OK.

For details about the Change Auditor-related options, see Integration with Change Auditor for Active Directory.
