[Active Directory] The Evolution of Active Directory Recovery (TechEd 2012)

Here is a great video taken at TechEd North America 2012 about Active Directory Recovery presented by Ulf B. Simon-Weidner  (http://msmvps.com/blogs/UlfBSimonWeidner/).

An Active Directory failure is the most critical disaster in most organizations, and the infrastructure has changed: virtualization provides benefits, but also risks. Active Directory Recycle bin helps with recovering, but not in every situation. GPMC and the new Windows Backup can help, but you still need additional knowledge. In this session we take a geek view of Active Directory Backup and Recovery in various versions of Windows. Learn what you need in your backups, what you need to prepare for recovery, what the issues are and how to solve them. We look at different stages of Operating Systems up the the next generation Windows Server 2012 and learn where knowledge needs to complement features and how new possibilities will help you in planning your disaster recovery strategy.
