Select Attributes to Be Processed

The Select Attributes to Be Processed dialog box allows you to select attributes of the specified directory object. The Online Restore Wizard will process only the attributes you select in this dialog box.

  • Attributes. Lists attributes of the directory object you selected. In the list, select check boxes next to attribute names. When finished, click OK. The entries in the upper part of the Attributes list allow you to select groups of attributes. For example, when you select Address Information, all attributes relating to the user addresses are selected.

  • Show all possible attributes. When selected, causes the Attributes list to display all attributes of the selected object.

  • Clear all. Clears all check boxes in the Attributes list.

 

Additional Options

Use this page to specify whether or not you want to generate a comparison or restore report and what information you want to include in the report.

  • Generate report. When this check box is selected, the wizard generates a report based on the settings you have specified.

  • Report changed objects only. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the objects that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the objects that the wizard has modified or undeleted during the restore.

  • Report changed attributes only. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the object attributes that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the object attributes the wizard has modified during the restore.

  • Include Change Auditor "Who" data in reports. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes the information on users who modified certain Active Directory objects. To use this option, you must have Change Auditor for Active Directory installed in the home Active Directory forest of Recovery Manager for Active Directory.

  • Include subsequent changes from CA on deleted objects. When this option is selected, Recovery Manager for Active Directory restores deleted object(s) and continuously restores the last change (if any) that was made to the object attributes after creating the backup, using data from the Change Auditor database.

  • Database. Allows you to specify the name of Change Auditor database.

    To specify the CA database server, instance, port, and name, use the following format: <Server Name>\<Instance Name>,<Port>\<Database Name>. Example: testserver.domain.com\testinstance,1432\ChangeAuditorDB

For details about the Change Auditor-related options, see Integration with Change Auditor for Active Directory.
