Configuration - Active Directory iDataAgent

After installing the Active Directory Agent, you can make changes at the subclient level.

Before You Begin

• To perform Active Directory agent installation, administrator privileges are required. The user must be a member of the Domain Administrator Group.

• Backup and restore operations require the following permissions:

  • The backup user must be a member of the domain user group. By default, the Normal domain user has Read permissions in the Active Directory domain. However, DNS Zones are not backed up using that account.

  • User performing restore operations must at the minimum have Read, Change and Create Child Objects permissions. By default, the user in Domain Admins group, or Enterprise Admins group, or the Administrators group have all the required permissions. For more information about user permissions, see Active Directory User Permissions.

  • To back up the LAPS password attribute ms-Mcs-AdmPwd, the backup user must be a member of the Domain Admins group.
