[Active Directory] Windows Server 2012: Planning for Active Directory Forest Recovery White Paper Updated

Microsoft has updated Planning for Active Directory Forest Recovery White Paper for Windows Server 2012.

This guide contains best-practice recommendations for recovering an Active Directory forest, if forest-wide failure has rendered all domain controllers in the forest incapable of functioning normally. The procedure steps in this guide, which you must customize for your particular environment, describe how to recover the entire Active Directory forest to a point in time before the critical malfunction. They also ensure that none of the restored domain controllers replicates from a domain controller with potentially dangerous data. The procedures apply to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and the Active Directory® directory service in Windows Server 2003.
