Active Directory Disaster Recovery Best Practices: Step Up Your Game

Many organizations use Active Directory to manage workforce identities and more, and rely on AD’s resilience every single day. While AD disasters are rare, they can and do happen. Errors, malicious activity, object deletions, and other changes can cause AD to go belly up. While this is well-known, we find that most organizations do not have an Active Directory Disaster Plan and could be exposed to days of downtime should the worst happen.

Sean Deuby, a longstanding Microsoft MVP, identity consultant, and Active Directory maven, will join us to outline the different kinds of Active Directory disasters and how you can prepare for them.
