Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory is a tool that extends the functionality of Veeam Backup & Replication, allowing you to browse Active Directory database and recover the necessary items (objects and containers) and their attributes from domain controller backup into production. For that, you do not need to fully restore and start the virtual machine hosting the domain controller. Instead, you can use Veeam Backup & Replication data recovery options to obtain the necessary Active Directory database file (.DIT), mounting the virtualized DC backup to the local machine. Then you can utilize the following Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory capabilities:
- Use granular browsing and searching capabilities to find any object/container stored in Active Directory database
- Export objects/containers to a local folder or network drive
- Restore them to the original or different location
With Veeam Explorer, you can restore changed or deleted Active Directory objects and containers: users, groups, computers, account passwords for user, group or computer account, mail-enabled and mailbox-enabled users and groups reconnecting their mailboxes, hard-deleted items and Online Archive mailboxes, Organizational Units (OUs), Group Policy Objects (GPO), Configuration partition objects, and AD-integrated DNS records.

Restore of Group Policy objects, AD-integrated DNS records and objects from the Configuration partition is supported in the Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions only. |
