When performing database recovery, you have the following recovery options:
■ Recover the site database using a backup set This option allows you to restore the
database using the backup created using the scheduled maintenance task.
■ Use a site database that has been manually recovered You use this option if you
use SQL Server Management Studio, DPM, or another tool to back up the Configura-
tion Manager database.
■ Create a new database for this site Use this option if you do not have access to a
backup of the Configuration Manager site database. This option is only available if the
site is part of a Configuration Manager hierarchy. You cannot use this option to recover
the site database of a CAS if no primary sites are present and you can't use this option
to recover the site database of a stand-alone primary site.
After performing site recovery, you will need to perform the following steps:
■ Reenter user account passwords The final page of the recovery wizard will provide
you with information about which accounts require password information. This infor-
mation is also saved to the file C:\ConfigMgrPostRecoveryActions.html.
■ Reenter sideloading keys If you have entered sideloading keys for software deploy-
ment to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 devices, you must reenter these keys, as they will
be reset during site recovery.
■ Configure SSL for site system roles that use IIS You will also need to reconfigure
IIS to use the appropriate SSL certificate for site system roles after performing recovery.
■ Recover custom reports If you have custom Configuration Manager reports, you
will need to recover these reports after performing site recovery.
■ Recover content files You will need to recover content files to the same locations as
they used on the site server prior to the failure that triggered the recovery process.
■ Update Microsoft Azure management certificates If your organization uses
Microsoft Azure for cloud-based distribution points, you will need to update these
management certificates for the newly recovered site server.
If you need to recover a computer that hosts a Configuration Manager secondary site,
ensure that you configure the computer with the same name as the original computer that
hosted the secondary site. Recovery of a secondary site requires that the primary site server is
available. Configuration Manager secondary sites aren't backed up by scheduled maintenance
tasks.
