This only deletes the Computer Collection you selected along with the computer and container shortcuts it includes and the backup creation tasks scheduled for that Computer Collection. The containers, domain controllers, and AD LDS (ADAM) hosts whose shortcuts were added to the Computer Collection are not deleted. Deleting a Computer Collection does not delete the backups that were created for that Collection.
For each Computer Collection (applicable to all domain controllers within a collection), you can specify a user account that will be used to access the following:
Backup Agent that is manually or automatically installed on domain controllers in the Computer Collection. The account is used for the following operations:
backup creation
discover Backup Agent instances or update Backup Agent information
install, upgrade or uninstall Backup Agent instances
Locations on target domain controllers or UNC shares where backup files created for the Computer Collection are to be saved. For more information on how to specify these locations, see Remote Storage tab section in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
These credentials are also used to connect to Active Directory® in the following cases:
Show or refresh the content of collections that contain containers
Operate on collections that contain container-items
This account is used for backup unpacking only if no account is configured on the Remote Storage tab
For example: modifying an exclusion list for a container; installing the Backup Agent from a collection menu, collecting diagnostic data, etc.
In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Computer Collection for which you want to specify an access account.
From the main menu, select Action | Properties.
On the Agent Settings tab, select the Use the following account to access Backup Agent check box.
Click Select Account, and specify the user name and password of the account with which you want to access Backup Agent, backup storages, and global catalog servers.
When finished, click OK.
Note |
Recovery Manager for Active Directory has deprecated support for a group managed service account (gMSA) to be specified as the account to connect to the backup agent for manually triggered backups. Managed service accounts will continue to be supported for scheduled backup tasks. In accordance with Microsoft®, it is recommended to not use a group managed service account (gMSA) for interactively initiated network connections such as Recovery Manager for Active Directory manually triggered backups. To enforce this recommendation and to address the vulnerability CVE-2023-21524 (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2023-21524), Microsoft has limited the usages of managed service accounts with a Windows Update. By removing support for a gMSA to connect to the backup agent, this ensures an attacker does not exploit the RMAD backup agent to perform actions or access resources over the network. To utilize the benefits and security provided by a group managed service account (gMSA), we highly recommend that a gMSA account is used for the scheduled backup task. See Setting user account for scheduled tasks |
You can also specify a separate account that will be used to access the backup storage on the Remote Storage tab.
If no access account is specified on the Agent tab and no scheduled tasks exist for the Computer Collection, Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) will use the account under which the Recovery Manager Console is currently running.
If no access account is specified and a backup creation task is scheduled for the Computer Collection, RMAD will use the account under which the scheduled task is run. You can view and change this account on the Schedule tab in the Properties dialog box for a Computer Collection. For more information, see Schedule tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
Note |
The scheduled task account is not used to access the Remote Storage from the agent side. The agent uses a local system account on a domain controller for this operation. |
For additional information about the account requirements, please refer Permissions required for the Backup operation.
You can add specific domain controllers to a Computer Collection. You can select domain controllers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add. Domains available for a forest are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node; containers are located under domain nodes. You can add forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu. A Computer Collection can hold domain controllers from multiple containers.
Right-click the Computer Collection, select Add, and then click Domain Controller.
In the Select Computers dialog box, enter the domain controller name or select Advance then Find Now and select the domain controller from the list and click OK. The Select Computers dialog box allows you to specify multiple domain controller names.
Browse the console tree select and expand Active Directory, expand Domains then expand the domain and select the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add.
In the details pane, select the domain controllers you want to add. To select multiple domain controllers, hold down CTRL, and click the domain controllers.
On the Action menu or right click the select domain controllers, click Add to Collection.
In the dialog box that opens, select an existing Computer Collection or click New Collection to create and select a new Computer Collection.
In the dialog box, click OK.
Note |
Alternatively, you can drag the domain controllers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands. |
You can add domain controllers to a Computer Collection by using an import file that contains a list of domain controller names or IP addresses. Importing domain controllers from a file overcomes the limitations inherent to the Select Computers dialog box and is convenient when you need to add a large group of domain controllers.
An import file is a text file that contains one domain controller name or IP address per line. For example:
123.123.123.123
Domain Controller Name 1
Domain Controller Name 2
213.213.213.213
Create an import file that contains domain controller names or IP addresses.
Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Import Computers.
Use the Open dialog box to locate and open the import file.
You can add containers such as Active Directory® domains, sites, or organizational units to a Computer Collection. When a Computer Collection includes a container, it implicitly includes all domain controllers that are in that container. You can select containers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting a node that holds the containers you want to add.
Domains are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node, organizational units are located under domain nodes. You can add Active Directory® forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu.
Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Container.
In the Domain box, select the domain that includes the container or type the DNS name of the domain. If you typed the domain name, click Connect to redraw the tree in the Containers box.
Browse the directory tree in the Containers box to locate and select the container.
In the dialog box, click OK.
Note |
For a Computer Collection that includes a container, backups are created for all domain controllers in the container, including the newly created DCs that are not explicitly present in the Computer Collection . |
Browse the Recovery Manager Console tree to select the node that holds the containers you want to add.
In the details pane, select the containers you want to add. To select multiple containers, hold down CTRL, and click the containers.
On the Action menu, click Add to Collection.
In the dialog box that opens, select an existing Computer Collection or click New Collection to create and select a new Computer Collection.
In the dialog box, click OK.
Note |
Also you can drag the containers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands. |
This option lets you specify an explicit list of the domain controllers that will not be included in the backup.
In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Computer Collection that holds the container.
In the details pane, right-click the container and select Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click Modify.
Select domain controllers that you want to exclude from the Available domain controllers list and click Add.
Click OK.
