Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services | Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory supports database files (.DIT) created with Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services servers (domain controllers). To learn more about the supported versions of Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services, see the Supported Applications subsection of the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide. Important! Database files created by a domain controller can be opened for object recovery with Veeam Explorer for Active Directory only if Veeam Explorer is installed on a Windows machine with OS version same or above the version of that domain controller's OS. |

Veeam Explorer can restore the relationships between Active Directory objects and corresponding mailboxes - if an object (user or group) was deleted from production Active Directory, Veeam Explorer can restore this object from Active Directory backup, reconnect Exchange mailbox and restore mailbox security role for that object.
For other Microsoft Exchange versions, restore of mailbox-enabled objects is not supported (only mail-enabled objects can be restored).

If you plan to restore database items from an Active Directory Domain Services server running Microsoft Windows ReFS, consider that Veeam backup server or management console (that is, the machine where Veeam Explorer and the mount service are running) must be installed on the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or later.
To restore from a server running Microsoft Windows ReFS 3.x, Veeam backup server or management console (that is, the machine where Veeam Explorer and the mount service are running) must be installed on the Microsoft Windows Server 2016.
