Descriptions of recovery or verification steps

The next table describes the steps you may encounter in the Recovery Plan or on the Progress tab in the Forest Recovery Console while running a restore or verify settings operation. Some steps are applicable only to Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition.

ID Name Description
EnableGC Add global catalog Adds the global catalog to the DC if:
- The global catalog was removed from DC during recovery.
- The recovery project settings specify to rebuild the global catalog.
If no global catalog servers were successfully restored from backup, the global catalog is added to the DC that was assigned the Schema Master role during the recovery.
AdjustAd Adjust to Active Directory changes Tries to perform the following operations to avoid rebuilding of Global Catalog:
- Removes lingering objects from non-recovering domains
- Unhost\Rehost the recovered domain partitions from non-recovering domains if the previous operation has failed

If all previous operations were unsuccesfull, rebuilds Global Catalog.

If a target computer was not explicitly specified in the project settings, then the source domain controller (Source DC) will be used to verify the project against.
If the project is verified against the "Source DC" a warning message will be displayed.
Attempting to perform a restore operation while targeting the "Source DC" will result in an error.
EnsureRodcIsNotRecovering Check if domain controller is read-only Checks whether the DC is read-only (RODC).

RestoreDnsRelations Configure DNS server Updates DNS server delegation and forwarding in accordance with the new IP address of a target machine.
When Active Directory-integrated DNS is used, Recovery Manager for Active Directory® restores DNS Servers from a backup and checks if there are any DNS Servers in different DNS zones.
If there are such DNS servers, Recovery Manager for Active Directory® restores delegation and forwarding between domain DNS zones.
All restored DNS Servers from a particular domain will be configured as delegation and forwarding targets.
ScheduleAgentInstallation Configure Forest Recovery Agent on restored machine Deploys and configures Forest Recovery Agent on the recovered domain controller.
PrepareRestore Copy the backup file to domain controller If a backup was configured, then copies the backup file specified in the DC recovery settings to the DC. If there was no backup configured, this step will be skipped.

Backup Wizard

The Backup Wizard helps you create backups of domain controllers' Active Directory® components, including Active Directory® and Group Policy data. With this wizard you can select domain controllers whose Active Directory® is to be backed up, specify where to store backups, run backup immediately or schedule it for later, view and modify backup options.

The wizard has the following steps:

 

What to Back Up

Use this page to select computers whose Active Directory® components you want the wizard to back up. You can back up selected computers or computers that reside in a specific container.

  • Selected objects. The Selected objects list includes the names and descriptions of computers and containers the wizard will process. You can modify the list using the Add and Remove buttons.

  • Add. When you click Add, the wizard presents you with these commands:

    • Domain Controller. Selects and adds domain controllers by name.

    • Container. Selects and adds a container. The wizard will back up all computers that are in that container.

    • AD LDS (ADAM) Host. Selects and adds AD LDS (ADAM) hosts by name.

    • Import Computers. Use a text file, one computer name per line, to add computers to the list.

  • Remove. Removes the selected entries from the Selected objects list.

To add a Domain Controller by name
  1. Click Add and then click Domain Controller.

  2. In the Select Computers dialog box, supply the name of the Domain Controller you want to add to the list.

With the Select Computers dialog box, you can select multiple computers. The Select Computers dialog box only allows you to add computers by computer account name. If you want to add computers by IP address, DNS name, or NetBIOS name, use an import file.

To add a container
  1. Click Add and then click Add Container.

  2. In the Domain box, select or type the DNS name of a domain. If you typed the DNS name, click Connect to refresh the tree in the Containers box.

  3. In the Containers box, select the container that contains any Domain Controllers to add.

If you select computers or containers before starting the Backup Wizard, the Selected objects list includes the objects you have selected.

To add AD LDS (ADAM) Host
  1. Click Add and then click AD LDS (ADAM) Host.

  2. In the Select Computers dialog box, supply the name or browse to the computer containing the AD LDS (ADAM) instance to add.

To add Domain Controllers using an import file
  1. Create a text file that contains the Domain Controller names, one name per line.

  2. Click Add and then click Import Computers.

  3. Use the Open dialog box to locate and open the text file.
