In a recovery project, you can use manual pauses to pause any recovery step of a domain controller.
Open or create a recovery project.
In the list of domain controllers, right-click the domain controller whose recovery you want to pause, and then click Pause next recovery step on the shortcut menu.
The manual pause will activate before the next recovery step begins for the domain controller. The pause does not apply to the recovery step that is currently underway.
To view the current and the next recovery step for a domain controller, use the Progress tab in the Domain Controller Recovery Settings and Progress area.
To release a manual pause
In the list of domain controllers, right-click the domain controller on which you want to release an active manual pause.
On the shortcut menu, click Resume next recovery step.
This command is only applicable to the currently active manual pause. It is not applicable to any automatic pauses that may be active for the domain controller.
To monitor active pauses, you can use the List of Domain Controllers area. The domain controllers whose recovery is currently paused are labeled with the following icon:
Active pause icon
Icon | Description |
---|---|
Indicates that the recovery of the domain controller is paused. To view which recovery stage or step is now paused, click the domain controller in the list, and then open the Progress tab. The paused recovery stage or step is also labeled with the pause icon. |
In a recovery project, you can create multiple automatic pauses, each having different settings. You can also modify the settings of existing automatic pauses or delete automatic pauses as necessary. To manage automatic pauses, click the Configure Pauses button on the Forest Recovery Console toolbar.
For each automatic pause, you can define the domain controllers to which the pause will apply and specify a recovery stage before which you want to activate the automatic pause on the domain controllers. The automatic pause becomes active when at least one domain controller specified in the pause settings reaches the recovery stage you specified.
You can configure an automatic pause to become active before one of the following recovery stages described below.
During this stage, Recovery Manager for Active Directory verifies that the backup files you selected for recovery are available on the target domain controllers. If necessary, Recovery Manager for Active Directory copies the backup files that are missing.
During this stage, Recovery Manager for Active Directory performs the following steps:
Detect current mode (DSRM or normal)
Reset DSRM administrator password
Restart domain controller in DSRM
Enable domain controller isolation
Disable custom password filters
Disable BitLocker
Restore data from backup
Restart domain controller in normal mode
Reset DSRM administrator password
During this stage, Recovery Manager for Active Directory performs the following steps:
Get information about domain controller
Select preferred DNS server
Remove global catalog (if you did not specify to keep the existing global catalog)
Raise RID pool
Invalidate RID pool
Seize FSMO roles
Clean up metadata of removed domain controllers
Reset the Krbtgt password
Reset password for users in privileged groups
Reset computer account passwords
Enable custom password filters
Restart domain controller in normal mode
Reset trust passwords
During this stage, Recovery Manager for Active Directory performs the following steps:
Ensure that domain controller isolation is disabled
Clean up metadata of unrecovered domains if necessary
Change global catalog partition occupancy level
Add global catalog (if you did not specify to keep the existing global catalog)
Wait for a global catalog server to become available
Restore initial global catalog partition occupancy level
Enable the use of global catalog for user authentication
Enable BitLocker
Remove temporary files
During this stage, Recovery Manager for Active Directory performs the following steps:
Select preferred DNS server
