Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition 10.0.1 - What is new and resolved (4219234)

New Features:

• Continuous recovery (Change Auditor integration) - Recovery Manager for Active Directory restores a deleted object and the last change (if any) that was made to the object properties after the backup creation using data from the Change Auditor database.
• Support for restore of Group Policy Objects in non-trusted domains  - Domain access credentials can be explicitly specified in Group Policy Restore Wizard.
• Support for Azure Files as a backup storage - Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition can work with backups stored in the Azure Files share.
• Separate accounts to access the backup storage and the Backup agent - Now a user can access backup storage share under specified account, which is not the same as an account used to access the backup agent.
• Install AD recovery method supports RODC - Now the Install Active Directory recovery method supports promoting read-only domain controllers (RODC).
• Independent DC verification workflow - Now verification of DC1 does not wait for verification of DC2.
• New verification step "Check if promoting paths are valid" for the 'Install Active Directory' and 'Install from Media' recovery methods - On this step Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition checks whether the specified 'DIT database path", "Log files path" and "SYSVOL path" are available.
• Configure as Global Catalog option for the Install from Media recovery method - Now the Install from Media recovery method has the "Configure as Global Catalog" option.
• UEFI boot mode on SCVMM - Active Directory Virtual Lab: Support for source machines with the UEFI boot mode on System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
