Malware Remediation tab

You can use this tab to make choices for scanning of malware or server maintenance during recovery. RMAD does not scan and remediate with this feature. The feature pauses the recovery during Directory Services Restore mode (DSRM) before the domain controller is restarted into normal mode allowing users to perform maintenance and run their own scans using third party tools and/or remediate if malware found.

The choices are:

  • Scan the selected backup for malware during the project verification

  • Pause recovery in DSRM to perform maintenance tasks including malware remediation



Pause recovery in DSRM to perform maintenance tasks including malware remediation can be enabled for specific domain controllers by selecting the option from the Malware Remediation tab from each domain controller in the project, or for all domain controllers in the entire domain/forest.



To select all of the domain controllers in a domain or forest to be paused during recovery in DSRM mode, select Configure by domain and select a domain or multiple domains within the forest.



When a domain is selected the Pause recovery in DSRM to perform maintenance tasks including malware remediation is no longer available on each domain controller for the selected domain, and The option is managed by domain settings is displayed.


NOTE

When the Pause recovery in DSRM option is managed by domain settings, it applies to all domain controllers in the project for the selected domain. When enabled for entire domain, you can not individually enable the pause recovery in DSRM option for specific domain controllers. To do so, within Configure by Domain, unselect the domain(s). After a domain is unselected, within the project select each Domain Controller the pause is required for. From the Malware Remediation tab, select to enable Pause recovery in DSRM to perform maintenance tasks including malware remediation.

To Resume recovery when paused, select all or individual domain controllers in the recovery project and click Resume. Otherwise the Resume button will be unavailable.

 

Progress tab

You can use this tab to view progress of the recovery stages and steps applicable to the domain controller selected in the list. To view more information about a recovery step on this tab, point to that step, and then point to the question mark displayed next to it.

You can copy the information displayed on the Progress tab to the Clipboard and then paste it to another application (for example, a Microsoft Office Word file). To do so, point to the Progress tab, and then click the Copy button in the upper right corner of the tab. This copies all the information displayed on the Progress tab, including the current status of each recovery stage and step and any error messages displayed on the tab.

 

Events tab

You can use this tab to view recovery events related to the entire Active Directory® forest, specific domain controllers, or both these categories of recovery events.

On this tab, you can use the following elements:

  • Show - Select a category of recovery events to view:

    • Forest-wide events. Shows recovery events related to the entire Active Directory® forest.

    • Events for selected DCs. Shows recovery events related to the domain controllers selected in the list.

    • All events. Shows forest-wide events and events related to the domain controllers selected in the list.

  • Copy - Copies events in the list to Clipboard.

  • Save - Allows you to export events in the list to one of the following formats:

    • Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt)

    • CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)

 

Configuring advanced settings

You can change a number of advanced settings of the Forest Recovery Console. To do so, you need to modify the FRConsoleSettings.xml file that stores these advanced settings. You can find this file in the Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) installation folder (by default, this is %ProgramFiles%\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory).

The changes you make in the FRConsoleSettings.xml file become effective right after you save the file. You do not need to restart the Forest Recovery Console.

The FRConsoleSettings.xml file includes the following XML elements you can modify:

SkipUnmodifiedFilesDuringRecovery

Enables or disables skipping the files that are identical on the domain controller and in the backup during restore operations. This element can take one of the following values:

  • TRUE. Enables skipping the files.

  • FALSE. Disables skipping the files.

PasswordsLength

Sets the length (in characters) for the passwords automatically generated by RMAD.

PasswordsSymbols

Allows you to specify what symbols you want to use in the passwords automatically generated by RMAD.

This element can take the following values:

  • Latin. Specifies to use English letters.

  • Number. Specifies to use Arabic numerals.

  • Upper. Specifies to use uppercase English letters.

  • Lower. Specifies to use lowercase English letters.

  • All. Specifies to use all of the above-listed characters.

You can specify multiple values in this element. When specifying multiple values, use a pipe (|) as a separator.

Example:

Latin | Number | Upper | Lower

MaximumBackupAgeInDays

Specifies the maximum age (in days) of the backups to be displayed on the GUI. Backups whose age exceeds the specified value will not be displayed.

DisableSystemPauses

Do not change the value in this element. This element is for internal use only.

EnablePersistence

Enables or disables the Recovery Persistence feature. This element can take one of the following values:

  • TRUE. Enables the Recovery Persistence feature.

  • FALSE. Disables the Recovery Persistence feature.

DaysBetweenProjectUpdates

Sets the maximum number of days between the updates of a recovery project. When the specified value is exceeded for a project, the Forest Recovery Console displays a warning.

SelectDnsTimeout

Sets a timeout for the DNS server search operation performed during a forest or domain recovery. Use the format hh:mm:ss.

DiagnosticsDataPath

Specifies the default location on the Forest Recovery Console computer for storing diagnostic data gathered with the Diagnostic Data Collector.

TargetGcOccupancyLevel

Sets the global catalog partition occupancy level value to be used when advertising a rebuilt GC fast.

This element can take one of the following values:

  • 0. No occupancy requirement.

  • 1. At least one read-only partition in site added by Knowledge Consistency Checker.

  • 2. At least one partition in site fully synchronized.

  • 3. All read-only partitions in site added by Knowledge Consistency Checker, at least one synchronized.

  • 4. All partitions in site fully synchronized.

  • 5. All read-only partitions in forest added by the Knowledge Consistency Checker, at least one synchronized.

  • 6. All partitions in forest fully synchronized.

UseRemoveLingeringObjects

If this parameter is set to FALSE, the Adjust to Active Directory changes operation will not call the "Remove lingering objects" command of the Repadmin tool.

UseUnhostRehost

If this parameter is set to FALSE, the Adjust to Active Directory changes operation will not call the "Unhost/Rehost" commands of the Repadmin tool.

EnsuresSingleInstance

Allows you to restrict the number of Forest Recovery Console instances that can be run simultaneously on this computer.

This element can take one of the following values:

  • TRUE. Only one instance of Forest Recovery Console can be run at a time.

  • FALSE. The number of Forest Recovery Console instances that can be run simultaneously is unlimited.

MaxAutomaticDnsCount

Limits the number of automatically selected DNS servers for domain controller DNS client settings.

RidPoolIncreaseValue

Specifies the value by which to raise the number of available RID pools.

If necessary, you can revert to the default values in the FRConsoleSettings.xml file.

RecoveryMediaHttpServicePort

Specifies the port used by the web server handling Recovery Media Images. Images are consumed by HPE® iLO management software to perform automatic server boots. By default, the port is set to 8080.

To revert to the default values
  1. Delete the FRConsoleSettings.xml file.

  2. Restart the Forest Recovery Console on the computer on which you deleted the file in step 1.

    Recovery Manager for Active Directory recreates the FRConsoleSettings.xml file and assigns default values to the elements in the file.
