To restore data from Active Directory or AD LDS (ADAM) backups, Recovery Manager for Active Directory requires specific dynamic link libraries (DLLs) supplied with the Windows operating system. In case Recovery Manager for Active Directory cannot find these DLLs, the backup restore operation may fail with an error message similar to the following:
“The Active Directory database (ntds.dit) file in the backup is incompatible with the esent.dll file version found on this computer.”
Before you start using Recovery Manager for Active Directory to extract and restore data from Active Directory or AD LDS (ADAM) backups, it is recommended to ensure the required DLLs are available on the Recovery Manager for Active Directory computer.
