Agent for Active Directory enables you to create single-pass disk and application backups and to recover Microsoft Active Directory data from them.
Agent for Active Directory can only be installed on a domain controller. Remote installation of the agent is not possible.
The agent is included in the setup program of Acronis Backup Advanced.
The agent is installed with Agent for Windows or on a machine where Agent for Windows is already installed.
Licenses required
Agent for Active Directory requires one of the following licenses:
Each of these licenses enables you to install Agent for Windows on the same machine. If Agent for Windows is already installed, you can install Agent for Active Directory by using the Acronis Backup Advanced for Active Directory Add-On license.
To use the product in the trial mode, you do not need licenses.
Installation
Install the agent in the same way as Agent for Windows. When asked for credentials for the Acronis Managed Machine Service, specify an existing domain user account that is included in the built-in Administrators group of the domain controller. Otherwise, single-pass backups of Microsoft Active Directory data will fail.
For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the "Interactive installation of Acronis Backup Advanced" section of the installation documentation.
