These release notes provide information about the Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition 10.3 release.

About Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition 10.3

Recovery Manager for Active Directory enables fast, online recovery. Comparison reports highlight what objects and attributes have been changed and deleted in Active Directory enabling efficient, focused recovery at the object or attribute level. Accurate backups and a quicker recovery enable you to reduce the time and costs associated with AD outages and reduce the impact on users throughout your organization.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory is based on patented technology.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3 is a release with new features and functionality. See New Features and Enhancements.

 

New Features and Enhancements

This section covers new features and enhancements in Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3.

Major Features

Console Configuration Backup and Restore

New feature to backup your Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) Console settings and project files, allowing you to quickly reinstall the product and restore its configuration to the last backed up state in case RMAD becomes inoperable due to a failure. Additionally with a backed up RMAD console configuration file you can install a new Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Edition Forest Recovery console on a new host. This is useful for adding another RMAD console.

Pause Recovery Enhancements

The Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) can be paused during recovery. Recovery Manager for Active Directory now has advanced actions that can be performed during the pause step, including an option to run a script, quarantine files and define custom rules for handling of malicious files.

Integrity Checks for AD Backups

Recovery Manager for Active Directory now supports integrity checks for Active Directory® backups. This new capability in Recovery Manager for Active Directory ensures that integrity checks are automatically performed when a backup is registered and integrity checks can be configured to be performed after a scheduled backup.

Automatic DNS Selection

Before starting a forest recovery operation, you should specify a method for selecting a preferred DNS server for each domain controller in your recovery project. Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3 has enhanced these methods and how the preferred DNS server is automatically detected.

Hybrid Connector

Recovery Manager for Active Directory integration with On Demand Recovery enables the restoration and undelete of on-premises objects that are synchronized with Azure Active Directory. The RMAD Hybrid Connector service has been updated to no longer use SQL Server® for Hybrid configuration and the TLS v1.2 protocol is now being enforced when communicating with On Demand Recovery.

NOTE

With the removal of the SQL Server® for the Hybrid configuration, after upgrade to 10.3 it is required to re-enter credentials for each domain listed under Discovered Domains.

Computer Collection Properties and Using Preinstalled Backup Agent

Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.3 has updated the default properties for all new computer collections. The option to Use preinstalled Backup Agent is now selected by default as this is the recommended practice for management of the backup agent. The option Automatically configure Windows Firewall and Ensure Forest Recovery Agent is deployed are not selected by default. It is highly suggested to review selected options on existing computer collections.

Windows 2022

Support for agent based restore with LSA protection for Windows 2022.

Support OAuth for Email Notifications

Full support for OAuth2 authentication method for email notifications. Required due to deprecation of basic authentication for Exchange Online.
