Veeam Explorer for Active Directory

ntds.dit

recover passwords

[UPDATE] Cumulative patch that addresses all issues reported on the beta code as of May 5th > ftp://vead:gBs4953r@supportftp.veeam.com/

Please welcome the new addition to our Explorer family,(VEAD). Just like other Veeam Explorers, VEAD performs exports and in-place recoveries of AD objects by drilling directly into the AD database (file), without the use of Virtual Lab.VEAD supports search and restore of all AD objects types, including users, groups, computer accounts and contacts. It can restore individual object's attributes, the entire objects, and even the whole organizational units (along with the hierarchy). Of course, the deleted objects do not have to be present in the Recycle Bin, as we will obtain all the data from backup where the objects are still present in AD. More importantly, unlike many other Active Directory recovery solutions, we do not require that the tombstone of the deleted object is still present in AD. VEAD is also fully Microsoft Exchange aware, so when restoring the user account, we will restore all Exchange-related attributes and reconnect the mailbox. As you will see, this is a very comprehensive solution.But, there is one more thing. VEAD also has the unique ability to! Imagine accidentally deleting the entire OU with all your users. Without this feature, each user will be prompted to set the new password upon first logon, which is very disruptive and insecure. But this feature will come even more handy if you lose an OU with computer accounts! If you simply restore those back, computers will not be able to logon to the domain because of computer account password mismatch. Now, just imagine the nightmare of going to each computer, switching it into workgroup, and then joining it back into the domain... hundreds of times! This is when you will really appreciate this feature.Interested? Download beta now (requires B&R 7.0), and post your feedback in this thread!
