You can use the Forest Recovery Console to selectively reboot domain controllers in the current recovery project. You can reboot domain controllers either in normal mode or Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM).
To select multiple domain controllers, hold down CTRL, and click the domain controllers you want to select.
On the menu bar, select Tools | Manage | Forest Recovery Agent or DCs.
In the dialog box that opens, click the Reboot button, and then click one of the following:
Reboot in Normal Mode. Reboots the domain controllers in normal mode.
Reboot in DSRM. Reboots the domain controllers in Directory Services Restore Mode.
You can use the Forest Recovery Console to selectively reset the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) administrator password on domain controllers in the current recovery project. You can reset the DSRM administrator password to the value specified in the domain controllers’ recovery settings or specify a new DSRM administrator password.
Use the List of Domain Controllers area to select the domain controllers on which you want to reset the DSRM administrator password.
To select multiple domain controllers, hold down CTRL, and click the domain controllers you want to select.
On the menu bar, select Tools | Manage | Forest Recovery Agent or DCs.
In the dialog box that opens, click More, and then click Reset DSRM Password.
Use one of the following options:
Reset password to the value in recovery settings. Allows you to reset the DSRM administrator password to the value specified in the recovery settings for each domain controller. For more information about recovery settings, see Domain controller recovery settings and progress.
Reset password to this value. Allows you to reset the DSRM administrator password to the value you type in this option.
When you are finished, click Apply.
During the forest recovery process, the Key Distribution Center Service Account (KRBTGT) password is automatically reset to different values on all domain controllers. As a result, after the restore, incorrect Kerberos tickets may be cached on domain controllers and other servers in the domain. This can lead to authentication errors for various services after the forest recovery operation within renew ticket lifetime (10 hours by default).
In order to avoid authentication errors, make sure that the KRBTGT account has been successfully replicated and then reset Kerberos tickets.
NOTE |
Recovery Manager for Active Directory uses the domain controller access credentials to purge Kerberos tickets. For more details, refer Table 24 in the General tab section. |
After the restore process is completed, in Forest Recovery Console, click the Purge Kerberos Tickets option in the Post-Recovery Actions window or select Tools | Manage | Purge Kerberos Tickets.
In the Purge Kerberos Tickets window, click Apply to start replicating the KRBTGT account in the domains and then purge the tickets on the domain controllers.
Click OK to close the window.
For read-only domain controllers, the option purges Kerberos tickets and does not perform the replication of KRBTGT account.
The purge Kerberos tickets operation does not affect domain controllers that were excluded from the forest.
Then, all users have to re-logon to get a new Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT).
You can use Recovery Manager for Active Directory to manage the global catalog servers in your Active Directory forest before or after the recovery. For example, you can view which domain controllers currently hold the global catalog server role and manually remove or assign the global catalog server role to the domain controllers you want.
NOTE |
Recovery Manager for Active Directory uses the domain controller access credentials to manage the Global Catalog servers. For more details, refer Table 24 in the General tab section. |
In the Forest Recovery Console, open the recovery project in which you want to manage the global catalog servers.
On the menu bar, select Tools | Manage | Global Catalog Servers.
Do one of the following:
To assign the global catalog server role to a domain controller, select the check box in the Global Catalog Server column next to that domain controller.
To remove the global catalog server role from a domain controller, clear the check box in the Global Catalog Server column next to that domain controller.
To sort or group the domain controllers in the list by the criteria you want, right-click anywhere in the list, and then select an appropriate command from the shortcut menu.
When you are finished, click the Apply button for your changes to take effect.
TIP |
To avoid excessive replication traffic, it is recommended to assign one global catalog server role at a time. |
