Active Directory database restore
In Windows Server 2008, restoring of Active Directory database requires the host to be booted in Directory
Service Restore Mode (DSRM).
To boot the Windows Server 2008 in DSRM mode the server must meet the following requirements:
1. Set the registry value “DSRMAdminLogonBehavior” (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
DSRMAdminLogonBehavior) to 2.
2. Reboot the server.
3. Press F11 key till a list of boot option is displayed.
4. Press F8 key to select the server boot option in DSRM mode.
Disaster Recovery
Data Protector A.06.00 patch for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 does not support disaster
recovery. Hence Data Protector cannot backup the System Recovery Data during the backup of
configuration files.
Command Line Interfaces (CLI)
All Data Protector command line interfaces (CLI) must be executed from within an administrator command
shell. In Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, each user, including Administrator user, has a
personalized command shell. This shell utilizes the user directory under ‘users’. To access the Data
directories of Data Protector Installation, the CLIs must run with Administrative privileges in an administrator
command shell.
New CLI Utilities
Omniinetpasswd
This command manages local Data Protector Inet configuration on Windows Vista and Windows Server
2008 systems where the Inet process must be run under a specific user account.
Following is the syntax for the command:
omniinetpasswd –version | –help
omniinetpasswd –add {User@Domain | Domain\User...} [Password]
omniinetpasswd –delete {User@Domain | Domain\User...}
omniinetpasswd –modify {User@Domain | Domain\User...}
omniinetpasswd –list [Domain]
omniinetpasswd –clean
On specific Windows operating systems, the Data Protector Inet process must be run under a specific
operating system user account rather than under the local user account SYSTEM.
The omniinetpasswd command provides functionality for management of Inet configuration on the local
system. Use command options -add, -delete, -modify, -list, and -clean for local Inet configuration
management.
