To view properties for a domain
  • In the Recovery Manager Console tree, under Active Directory/Forest/Domains, select the domain, and then click Properties on the Action menu.

In the dialog box that opens you can use the following elements:

  • Domain functional level. Displays the functional level of the domain.

  • Domain-wide FSMO roles. Displays the DNS names of the domain controllers that hold the RID Master, Infrastructure Master, and PDC Emulator domain-wide FSMO roles.

 

Domain controller properties

The Properties dialog box for a domain controller is used to view some of properties of the selected domain controller available for the forest added to the Recovery Manager Console.

To view properties for a domain controller

  1. In the console tree, expand the Active Directory node, and then expand the Forest node for the forest where the domain controller is located. If you don't see any Forest node, add the forest to the console using the appropriate procedure from Forest properties.

  2. In the console tree, click All Domain Controllers. This causes the detail pane to display all domain controllers available for the selected forest.

  • Site. Displays the name of the site in which the domain controller is located.

  • Global Catalog. If this check box selected, the domain controller is enabled as global catalog. A global catalog stores a full replica of the directory data for its own domain and a partial replica of the directory data for every other domain in the forest.

  • FSMO roles. Lists the forest-wide and domain-wide FSMO roles owned by the domain controller.

  • This DC hosts the following application directory partitions. Lists the application directory partitions hosted by the selected domain controller.
