Exam 8: Designing High Availability and Business Continuity
___________________ are commonly used to achieve high availability.
Failover clusters
Explain how to perform an authoritative restore.
To perform an authoritative restore, you would follow the same steps you use for a non-authoritative restore. However, after restoring Active Directory and before rebooting the server, you would use the NTDSUtil command to restore the deleted objects authoritatively and update the USNs. NTDSUtil is a shell command-line tool that includes the authoritative restore commands. After the objects are marked for authoritative restore, you can reboot the server normally.
When the domain controller replicates with other domain controllers, the objects marked with NTDSUtil will be considered the authority and will be replicated to other domain controllers.
Describe how an authoritative restore of a single record will be properly replicated to the remainder of the directory.
An authoritative restore can mark a single object (such as the CEO's account), an entire OU, or the entire Active Directory database as authoritative. It does so by adding 100,000 to the USN of the restored item(s) for every day that has passed since the backup. When the restored DC is brought back online, it has a higher USN for the restored item(s) and is considered the newer or authoritative change.
