Embrionic AD Recovery
|
The Problem
Many organisations do not have the facilities or appropriate tools in place to deal with a recovery in the event of disaster due to:
The desire to have cover for system failure in its many guises is often shelved
and to be revisited next year. From Embrionics experience it generally never gets back off the shelf.
How long can your business operate without Active Directory functioning?
The Solution = AD Recovery by Embrionic
Embrionic's solution addresses the problem in a number of ways:
- Time:
- All Embrionics tools and procedures have already been developed and thoroughly tested so require little or no
additional development time resulting in a rapid deployment solution.
- Cost:
- Producing recovery documentation and procedures is a very time consuming and
expensive process that can take many months. Embrionic have developed their intellectual property
over a number of years working with customers, building the knowledge and testing all the individual
components. Embrionic can therefore pass this experience over, so saving customers time and money.
- Lack of in house skills:
- Embrionic will leave you with the processes and procedures in
place, tested and understood by your own staff. As we have spent
many man years performing this kind of work customers can rely on
our skills to guide them through the process without costly
re-training.
AD Recovery is comprised of a server side component, a client to be run
on the recovery console and documented "break glass" procedures and can be seen
in the screen shots below:
Screen Shots
 |
ADR Screen Shot - Splash Screen
The AD Recovery console runs on any Windows 2000 or above client or server and utilises Internet Explorer so requires no bespoke components. |
 |
ADR Screen Shot - Gathering Info
The Recovery Console will gather all information about your AD environment automatically and populate the tasks based on this information. |
 |
ADR Screen Shot - Authorisation Required
Before completing any steps the Administrator password will be required to ensure accidental processes are not run. |
 |
ADR Screen Shot - AD Removal
Once the information has been gathered, the next stage of the process is to remove the exisiting Active Directory. |
 |
ADR Screen Shot - Promote Servers
After Removal of Active Directory and several further steps have been run, we can promote all DC servers back to their orginal configuration as predefined in the gathering phase. |
 |
ADR Screen Shot - Monitoring Progress
Throughout the process, ADR will report back on the taks in hand and will monitor individual servers. Full logging can then be examined to discover issues. |
