During execution of the Restore Active Directory from Backup method, all Domain Controllers in the project fail at the Run Pre‑Recovery Checks step. The following error message appears in the Windows Event Viewer for RMAD:
The provided DSRM password does not meet the password complexity requirements.
The domain account may have been entered in the 'Domain user name:' field using the format username@domain.local.
Use the recommended format, which requires entering only the user account (username) in this field.
