Specify additional recovery option settings for the Recover AD in-place (same server) option.
This recovery method is available only when using the Recover AD forest in-place recovery type. It restores the Active Directory database and SYSVOL data from backup on the original domain controller. Use this method when the operating system remains available and trusted, but Active Directory must be restored to a previous known-good state.
Note
With the Recover AD in-place (same server) option, if the software cache is hosted on a machine that is not the recovery node, that machine must be accessible from the recovery network. For more information on ports and network requirements, see System requirements for Active Directory forest recovery.
