There may be a situation where technical support requests you to gather and supply diagnostic data from your computer collection. For this purpose, you can use a special tool provided in the Recovery Manager Console. This tool is called Diagnostic Data Collector.
When gathering diagnostic data, the Diagnostic Data Collector collects the following:
From Recovery Manager Console machine
Collects the Recovery Manager Console log
Collects the Recovery Manager for Active Directory event logs
.mdb database files
Recovery Manager for Active Directory configuration files
From Domain Controller
Collects Backup and Restore agent logs
Collects system event logs
Windows debug logs
Runs Microsoft Netdiag, Dcdiag, Nltest, MsInfo32 and Repadmin tools (in diagnostic mode only), and then collects the output provided by these tools. The tools are started by Collectdcdata.cmd and you can modify the list of collected logs.
To gather diagnostic data for your recovery project by using the Diagnostic Data Collector, you need to complete the following steps:
Step 1: Use Diagnostic Data Collector to automatically gather data. In this step, you use the Diagnostic Data Collector to automatically gather diagnostic data from each domain controller in your recovery project and save the data to the folder you specify. You can perform this step regardless of whether or not a recovery operation is currently running on the recovery project. If this step completes successfully for all domain controllers, Step 2 is not needed.
Step 2: Gather remaining data manually. You need to perform this step only for those domain controllers from which you could not successfully collect data in Step 1. In Step 2, you copy several files supplied with Recovery Manager for Active Directory to the target domain controller, and then run one of the copied files. As a result, diagnostic data is collected from the domain controller and saved to a new folder created in the location from which you ran the file.
The next sections provide instructions on how to complete each of these steps.
In the Recovery Manager Console, right-click the computer collection or the domain controller from the right-pane and select Collect diagnostic data… from the shortcut menu.
If you need to collect diagnostic data for the Recovery Manager Console machine, right-click on the Console root and select Collect diagnostic data….
Use the Drop folder text box to specify the local or UNC path to the folder where you want to save the diagnostic data to be collected. The collected data is saved to a .zip file, e.g. CollectedLogs_10_20_2015 07_23_25.zip
Specify credentials to access the domain controllers.
Select the Delete collected logs from domain controllers option to delete collected RMAD\RMADFE logs from domain controllers.
Click the Collect button and wait for the operation to complete.
If you successfully collected data, you can submit the .zip file to Quest technical support. Otherwise, complete Step 2: Gather remaining data manually.
Perform the next steps for each domain controller from which you could not successfully collect data in Step 1: Use Diagnostic Data Collector to automatically gather data.
Create a temporary folder on the local disk of the target domain controller.
Copy Collectdcdata.cmd from the Recovery Manager for Active Directory installation folder to the folder you created in step 1 of this procedure.
Run the Collectdcdata.cmd file in the location to which you copied it and wait for the script to complete.
The collected diagnostic data is saved to the CollectedData folder created in the location where you ran the Collectdcdata.cmd file.
Rename the CollectedData folder so that its name reflects the name of the domain controller from which you collected data.
Add the folder to the .zip file created in Step 1: Use Diagnostic Data Collector to automatically gather data.
Now you can submit the .zip file to Quest technical support.
