How to perform a non-authoritative and authoritative AD restore on Windows Server 2012 R2

In this video I am going to show you how you can perform a non-authoritative and authoritative Active Directory Restore on Windows Server 2012 R2. I am going to provide you with more details on how you can act in disaster recovery scenarios. Please note that there are few prerequisites:

1. System State Backup (Windows Server Backup or other backup solution)

2. DSRM Administrator Password

One of the best videos has ever seen !!! Great Job

If possible, please try to show through GUI as well, It would be helpful for us...

[alejandrokassimatis]

Best and brief explanation i ever seen! Thanks

[jkhddfd]

I like your video and your presentation style not to fast not too slow very clear, good format and you mix it in with some powershell, Bravo sir, I would show both though, show the powershell and the GUI method please, (for future ref)

[sauravsaha]

Really one of the best videos. Can you please explain how to boot into DSRM if the DC is running in Azure.

Very useful video, am so glad to see it . i have quick quistion, can use restore from Recycle bin also ? ( from AD administrative center, then right click on domain name then Recycle Bin ) ?

[sarthaks]

Awesome video...one question though..if you make the primary as authoritative but if you try to replicate from other or secondary dc will the change be reflected in the primary one?

[jatindersandhu]

Thanks a lot for such a nice and well explain the concept.

Very Informative. Thank you.
Just one thing is confusing me. Why did you perform non-authoritative restore in the first place?

[abhijithrajabey]

[krish]

Awesome explaination.. Good .. Thank you

[skutsenkow]

Nice video! Question - If you have the Active Directory Recycle Bin enabled, is there any reason to do a restore anymore? Are there any use cases you can think where you would still do that?

[AzureADTalk]

Great explanation you have done in this video, i did enjoy watching this video.

[niaz.shovon]

This could be a good example of how to make a simple task complex! Why I need to mess with that powershell thing where I could use a Windows backup GUI? A simple check mark would make it authoritative in there.
