Active Directory snapshot configuration management leverage Scheduled tasks create snapshot tasks

In today's enterprises, we as it operators, we in addition to day-to-day operations, we have to spend more time to do the relevant business resources of disaster preparedness to ensure that the disaster to the temporary we can calmly face and query what data is required to us to restore, Avoid the rush and restore errors that occur when you restore from multiple backup versions without accurately locating the content that needs to be restored, today, I'm going to go into a new series with all of you, about ntdsutil this command, you can use this command to do a lot of things like our common installation media for creating Active Directory installations, To perform an authorization restore, and so on, we can also use the snap in the Ntdsutil command to make a snapshot of our Active Directory to ensure that the disaster to face the heavy ad backup version, the more accurate to locate which version of the content we need.
