Skills 101: RMAD & RMAD DRE | AD Recovery Best Practices

Wednesday, September 9, 11:00am - 12:00pm (EDT)

Active Directory recovery remains a critical part of overall cyber resiliency planning. In this Skills 101 session, we’ll walk through practical RMAD and RMAD DRE recovery best practices focused on backup strategy, restore methods, permissions, reporting, and recovery validation across real-world AD environments.

We’ll explore:
• Console Configuration Backups and what they protect
• Common backup and recovery gotchas to avoid
• Agent-based vs. agentless restores in the Online Restore Wizard
• Restore permissions, limitations, and alternative recovery options
• Using comparison reports and filters during recovery validation
• AD backup frequency, retention, and Domain Controller coverage recommendations
• How to validate whether backups are usable before a real recovery scenario
• The evolution of Standby Forest Provisioning

Whether you’re refining existing recovery processes or reviewing current recovery readiness, this session will provide practical operational guidance for improving AD recovery preparedness with RMAD and RMAD DRE.
