You can add specific domain controllers to a Computer Collection. You can select domain controllers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add. Domains available for a forest are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node; containers are located under domain nodes. You can add forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu. A Computer Collection can hold domain controllers from multiple containers.

Note: Alternatively, you can drag the domain controllers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands. |
You can add domain controllers to a Computer Collection by using an import file that contains a list of domain controller names or IP addresses. Importing domain controllers from a file overcomes the limitations inherent to the Select Computers dialog box and is convenient when you need to add a large group of domain controllers.
An import file is a text file that contains one domain controller name or IP address per line. For example:
123.123.123.123
Domain Controller Name 1
Domain Controller Name 2
213.213.213.213
To add domain controllers by using an import file
You can add containers such as Active Directory domains, sites, or organizational units to a Computer Collection. When a Computer Collection includes a container, it implicitly includes all domain controllers that are in that container. You can select containers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting a node that holds the containers you want to add.
Domains are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node, organizational units are located under domain nodes. You can add Active Directory forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu.

Note: For a Computer Collection that includes a container, backups are created for all domain controllers in the container, including the newly created DCs that are not explicitly present in the Computer Collection . |
Alternatively, you can add containers to a Computer Collection using the following procedure
|
Note: Also you can drag the containers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands. |
To view and modify an exclusion list for a container
This option lets you specify an explicit list of the domain controllers that will not be included in the backup.
In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Computer Collection that holds the container.
You can add AD LDS (ADAM) hosts and instances to a Computer Collection. AD LDS (ADAM) instances available for a selected AD LDS (ADAM) configuration set are located under the Active Directory/AD LDS (ADAM) Configuration Set/All Instances node. To add an AD LDS (ADAM) configuration set to a Computer Collection, you need to connect to AD LDS (ADAM).
To connect to AD LDS (ADAM)
In the AD LDS (ADAM) host box, type the full DNS name of the host to which you want to connect.
In the Port number box, type the port number used by AD LDS (ADAM).
In the User name and Password boxes, type the user name and password with which you want to access the AD LDS (ADAM) host. Note that to display these boxes, you may need to click the Options button
To add AD LDS (ADAM) hosts to a particular Computer Collection
Recovery Manager for Active Directory backs up all AD LDS (ADAM) instances hosted on the computer you have added to a Computer Collection.

Note: Alternatively, you can drag the selected AD LDS (ADAM) instances to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands.. |
You can also select a Computer Collection, and then add AD LDS (ADAM) hosts to the selected Collection.
