AD Recovery
Posted by chrisbeams on May 22, 2009
So my progress to date has been good. I have used the Quest Recovery Manager for AD in my home lab to recover a child domain and two domain controllers. To be honest it was a very simple process and after a few nervous minutes while the existing DCs sorted themselves out everything was ok. I have some screen shots and a short guide that I will post early next week. It was intersting to see the invocation guid changing as the DC worked out it had been restored.
InvocationID attribute (old value):
216d1df4-db3d-4326-8026-dfba0ca6a881
InvocationID attribute (new value):
d880386d-0385-4171-9ff3-9ab353c029f7
Update sequence number:
6410833
The invocationID is changed when a domain controller is restored from backup media or is configured to host a writeable application directory partition.

AD Recovery – W2008 – Netbackup

So I have to admit I am a little behind in terms of W2k8 and AD. It looks like the whole recovery mechanism has changed, it looks interesting and I will be giving the recovery a go over the weekend to see how it fits into the overall AD Recovery picture. Does this mean we don’t need third party products???

Active Directory – Recovery
Posted by chrisbeams on May 12, 2009
I wonder how many people out there have a proven domain and/or forest recovery process. We can all follow the MS White paper but it’s a lengthly process. What happens if your company wants a 4 hour turn around of a multi domain globally distributed forest. How likely is domain or forest failure anyhow? I think a schema change is a possibility but a very remote one. I guess more likely is user error, deleting an Ou perhaps.
So really we need object recovery, and potentialy worst case scenario recovery for a corrupt schema.
I have used the Quest product and also normal ntbackup. The Quest product is v cool but also costs money which in these times is tricky.
I am going to have a play in my VM lab at home and upload my results
Cheers
Chris
