You can change a number of advanced settings of the Forest Recovery Console. To do so, you need to modify the FRConsoleSettings.xml file that stores these advanced settings. You can find this file in the Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition installation folder (by default, this is %ProgramFiles%\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition).
The changes you make in the FRConsoleSettings.xml file become effective right after you save the file. You do not need to restart the Forest Recovery Console.
The FRConsoleSettings.xml file includes the following XML elements you can modify:

A recovery project is where you manage the recovery of the entire Active Directory forest or specific domains. Each recovery project contains a list of domain controllers to be recovered and their recovery settings, such as recovery method and access credentials. You can specify individual recovery settings for each domain controller in a recovery project. A recovery project also has a number of project-specific settings you can modify.
Each recovery project is saved to an individual project (.frproj) file. A project (.frproj) file holds information about the contents and settings of the project and the recovery settings specified for the DCs in the project. In this section:
