Step 4. Specify Domain Controller Credentials

At the Credentials step of the wizard, specify the credentials that Veeam Backup & Replication uses to connect to each domain controller during the restore process.

To set or change credentials for a domain controller:

  1. Select one or more domain controllers in the list and click Edit. To select multiple domain controllers at once, press and hold [Ctrl] or [Shift].
  2. Select or add an account with sufficient permissions to perform the recovery on the domain controller.
  3. Click OK.

Note

Forest recovery requires an account with Domain Admin privileges for each domain controller. Only standard credentials with a user name and password are supported — other credential types cannot be used.
