Recovery Manager for Active Directory supports only legacy ADVL projects that were created with Active Directory Virtual Lab 9.x or later.
Now Active Directory Virtual can open a legacy Virtual Lab Project (.vlproj) file if FIPS-compliant algorithms are enabled on the Active Directory Virtual Lab computer.
Note |
To protect its data, the Active Directory Virtual Lab 9.x or later uses the SHA-1 hashing algorithm and the Triple DES encryption algorithm that are FIPS-compliant. For more information about FIPS-compliant algorithms, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 811833 “The effects of enabling the ‘System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing’ security setting in Windows XP and in later versions of Windows” at https://support.microsoft.com. |
Please consider the following precautions before creating a virtual test environment:
Virtual test environments created by the Active Directory Virtual Lab can only be used for testing, training, or evaluation purposes. Never restore or copy any data from your virtual test environments to the production Active Directory.
Ensure your virtual test environment is properly isolated from the source Active Directory forest. Otherwise, the source forest may be seriously damaged after you enable the network adapters in the newly-created virtual test environment.
To create a virtual test environment from an Active Directory forest, complete these steps:
Start the Active Directory Virtual Lab console.
After the console opens, a wizard starts automatically to guide you through the virtual lab project creation.
Alternatively, if you have the Active Directory Virtual Lab console already open, from the main menu, select File | New Project, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
When creating a virtual lab project, you are prompted to specify the following:
Third-party virtualization software with which to create virtual machines from the source computers.
The virtualization software must be preinstalled in your environment and be accessible to the Active Directory Virtual Lab. For the privileges required to use the virtualization software, see Permissions.
Source Active Directory forest from which to create your virtual test environment.
Default hardware settings for creating virtual machines from source computers in the virtual lab project.
If necessary, you can modify these default settings for each virtual machine to be created.
