What is DSRM
Hello all,
Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.
This post is regarding Directory service restore mode (DSRM).
What is DSRM
DSRM is Directory Services Restore Mode and its only needed when Active Directory is so damaged that you cannot log on using your normal AD Administrator password.
DSRM allows an administrator to repair or recover to repair or restore an Active Directory database. During Active Directory installation, the install wizard prompts to set a DSRM password.
This password provides the administrator with a back door entry to the database in case something goes wrong later on, but it does not provide any access to the domain or to any services in DSRM mode.
Please do not confuse DSRM with Safe Mode. Active Directory will still attempt to start in Safe Mode and if it fails you will not be able to log on. Instead use DSRM.
DSRM is only needed when Active Directory is so damaged that you cannot log on using your normal AD Administrator password.
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff. Have a nice day!!!
