Lesson 1: Proactive Directory Maintenance and Data Store Protection in .NET framework

Print Code 128B in .NET framework Lesson 1: Proactive Directory Maintenance and Data Store Protection

Identify the volume from the list that corresponds to the location of the full server backup you want to restore. The driver letters in WinRE do not necessarily match the volumes as they appeared in Windows Server 2008. 8. Type exit and press Enter. 9. At the Sources prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

For example, to list the available backups located on D drive on SERVER10, type:

Note the version identifier information because you need the exact name for the next command. 10. At the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

For example, to recover the system state from a backup dated 15 February, 2008, from D drive on SERVER10, type:

wbadmin start sysrecovery version:02/15/2008-19:38 backuptarget:d: machine:server10 restoreallvolumes -quiet

You use the quiet option to avoid having to confirm the backup operation. 11. After the recovery operation has completed, minimize the command window and, in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Restart. The server should restart and operate normally.

Quick Check Answers 1. The objects have been assigned the Protect From Accidental Deletion attribute. Because of this, they cannot be moved from one location to another. You must use Advanced Features from the View menu to view the feature and then go to the object s Properties dialog box and the Object tab to clear the option before moving the objects. Make sure you recheck the option after the move has been performed. 2. When Windows Server Backup is run as a scheduled task, it always begins by formatting the target backup disk. If the task is interrupted after the formatting, for example, by a computer reboot, the backup operation would not occur, leaving the target disk blank. 3. When a forest runs in Windows Server 2008 full functional mode, replication no longer relies on the File Replication System. Instead, replication relies on the deltabased compression replication provided by the Distributed File System Replication engine. This means that you must use DFSRadmin.exe to manage replication. 4. When you reassign an account from one person to the other, the new person automatically gains all the access rights previously assigned to the account. When you re-create an account, you must first discover which rights need to be assigned and then assign them manually to the new account. 5. To enable directory object auditing, you must manually enable the event subcategory with the following command:

When a server is created as a VM instead of being installed on a physical computer, it becomes nothing more than a set of files on a disk because the disk drives for the computer are hosted in virtual hard drives. DCs running both AD DS and DNS are ideal candidates for virtualization on either Microsoft Virtual Server R2 or on Hyper-V because they focus on providing a single, network-oriented service. When a machine is virtual, it becomes much easier to protect it, restore it, and otherwise manipulate it. If the server has a full system failure, just go back to an earlier version of the virtual machine and boot it up. In the case of a DC, multimaster replication will then automatically take care of the rest and bring it up to date. This is by far the most powerful business continuity scenario for DCs. In addition, virtual machine protection is greatly facilitated by a single Windows Server 2008 feature: the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). When configured, VSS automatically takes snapshots of the contents of a disk drive at regular intervals. If anything untoward occurs to any file on the disk drive, you simply rely on Previous Versions a tab that appears in the Prop-
