Let's face it, Active Directory (AD) has been around for 22 plus years and yet the idea of an AD disaster recovery (DR) plan is still nascent. You might think you have this down because you take a VM snapshot or have an enterprise-wide backup and recovery tool, but that just means you haven't had to actually recover from those. AD is a complex, networked piece of infrastructure that has more intricacies and dependencies than most are aware of. This session will give guidance on those intricacies as well as dive into the operational dependencies you need to consider in an AD DR plan.
