  • Hi Veritas team,

    I'm one of VSR end user.

    Bytheway is there any link for how-to documentation that share step by step for recovering a VM with 'Active Directory Domain Service/AD DS' rule? 

    actually, for common server I found on this links: 

    How to restore a computer through Restore Anyware (RAO) with Veritas System Recovery (VSR) , 

    and About recovering a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-based computer | Recovering a computer | Veritas™ System Recovery 22 User's Guide | Veritas™ for UEFI based.

    but for AD DS I just found on 'Veritas™ System Recovery 22 User's Guide" the 'tips for protecting a domain controller in active directory' but this tips only for before the backup running.

    hopefully I can get the clear how-to documentation for recovering a VM with 'Active Directory Domain Service/AD DS' rule as well.

    Many thanks,

      Regarding the recovery of domain controllers for VSR, the steps are the same as the common recovery steps.
      Non-authoritative restore is always performed when recovering recovery points by VSR. To do the authoritative restore, a file based backup software is needed like Backup Exec.

        Hi, thank you for the explanation.

        actually, now I'm on 'restore trial' using VSR.

        in live/production environment we split the FSMO in to two AD-DS servers as best-practice from microsoft (both using win server 2016 OS). Then I separate the network for the restore environment (in order to not disturbing the production environment).

        I follow the common restore how-to for restoring each AD-DS server (so both of them are non-authoritative restore). but after restore process is finished/successfully, I found that all Active directory application in each server show the error (every time I open ADUC, ADAC, etc.) will show this error:

        "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

        the command failed to complete successfully."

        I have check that all services are running in each AD-DS servers.

        is there any workaround for this condition?

        many thanks
