To create a new recovery project, you can use a New Recovery Project Wizard. This wizard helps you retrieve the Active Directory forest infrastructure information and save it in a recovery project (.frproj) file.
The wizard offers you the following methods to retrieve the forest infrastructure information:
To create a new recovery project
The title bar of the Forest Recovery Console displays the name of the project (.frproj) file you have created.

Note: Each recovery project must be protected with a password. When prompted, set a protection password for your project and make sure you keep the password for your records. |
To open an existing recovery project
This section describes how to open a legacy Recovery Project (.frproj) file created with Forest Recovery Console 8.2 or earlier if FIPS-compliant algorithms are enabled on the Forest Recovery Console 8.6 or later computer.
Forest Recovery Console version 8.2 or earlier used hashing and encryption algorithms incompatible with FIPS. For this reason, to open a legacy .frproj file created with Forest Recovery Console version 8.2 or earlier, you need to temporarily disable FIPS-compliant algorithms on the Forest Recovery Console 8.6 or later computer.
To open a legacy recovery project
By doing so, you update the project to use FIPS-compliant algorithms.

Note: To protect its data, the Forest Recovery Console version 8.6 or later uses the SHA-1 hashing algorithm and the Triple DES encryption algorithm that are FIPS-compliant. For more information about FIPS-compliant algorithms, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 811833 “The effects of enabling the ‘System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing’ security setting in Windows XP and in later versions of Windows” at http://support.microsoft.com. |
