All,
I'm trying to get to the bottom of the process being recovering an AD controller to new hardware when no other AD controller is present. In my test environment, I have managed to recover the Backup Exec Media Server and have placed it in a workgroup as the domain is of course not available. Looking at the documentation, I have setup the new server which will be the new AD Server and also just left it in a workgroup. I'm now trying to work out the recommended way to recover the AD Environment. So far I'm not having any luck changing the target to a different server.
I've been advised that I cannot do this recovery using Simple Disaster Recovery which is fine but I do need to know how to do this. I was thinking that the domain should be setup as a clean domain and then restore the system state and do an authoratitave restore but the Admin Guide for backup exec does not suggest this.
Has anyone managed to do this and if so, could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Chris
