In the SCOM Operations console, Recovery Manager for Active Directory components are represented as three health state views (separate for each type of objects) and two multi-level diagrams. There are three types of RMAD objects in these diagrams: Recovery Manager Console instances, Computer Collections existing in the Recovery Manager Console and Computers explicitly or implicitly added to Computer Collections. Each object has properties and health state determined by these properties.
In the multi-level diagrams All Components in Computer Collections and All Recovery Manager Console Instances under Monitoring | Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory, health of upper-level components depends on the health of lower-level components.
