having troubles restoring backup. says sysvol not in backup so -authsysvol command not working.
Can you share any specific errors or screenshots?
I tried it again just now and had changed browsers. but also did the recover step last since it had been giving me so much trouble and this time I had no problems doing lab. I had done the lab on my home lab and it had no problems so it was weird the online lab did the 4 times I tired it. With no steps different. other then reopening ad after deleting items and other checks of backup.
I’m sure there was some small detail different that went unnoticed. You can try it again if you want and see if you can do it again successfully 👍
Following steps correctly via the lectures and having the same issue where “No SYSVOL component was found in specified backup.”
I cannot quite discern what you did in order to get it to work for you Ambrose. Could you elaborate more on how you ensured the sysvol was present?
I wanted to note that I reloaded the lab, followed all the steps the same as the first with two additions: I switched from Chrome to Firefox, and after deleting the information from AD, I closed and then reopened AD. Second time around I got it to work.
Hi
Levi Amerine
We are glad you were able to complete the Lab.
Thank you for posting your troubleshooting tips.
Ricardo
I am experiencing the same issue with sysvol. How do I ensure sysvol is in the backup?
I have tried to restart the lab several times to no avail.
same issue with sysvol
I just completed this lab with 100% and it did not “check box” meaning completed after I exited out of the grading page.
Hi
aaron marriotti
I see you have completed the Lab: Active Directory Backups. The one I see is not complete is the Lab: ADUC PowerShell Automation. Let me know if there is an issue with it not marking as complete or if you need further help.
Ricardo
Go back to lab section and just press the check box. It worked for me. Had the same problem before.
I run the system state recovery to end and it goes ok. After lock in as admin i try to check if the backup was restored and I get this error message: Unable to execute script within virtual machine Lab25609542-SADC01. The credentials passed to PowerShell are invalid. So i cant go forward to snapshot because my AD server is not activate? I tried couple of times and same error 🤔
Hi
Ritva Niemela
Is this when scoring the recently performed task out of the virtual machine? If it is the case when clicking the score button make sure Windows is up and running on the desktop.
Let me know if you are ok now since I see your second post on checking the lab to complete it.
Thank you,
Ricardo
I see no OU DNSAdmins group in this lap to delete and then restore
Hi
Isagara Robert
It is located under the Users container.
Ricardo
From the labs, F8 to enter the Advanced Boot Options. You can press F2 or ESC to enter the Boot Manager.
This is Backup and Restoration, what if its a migration from an old server running AD DS to a newly installed AD DS
Typically on Windows Server AD DS migrations, I have installed a new version and joined it to the domain. I then migrate the FSMO roles from the old server to the new one and decommission the old server.
There might be other methods depending on your environment. Here is a link to migrate different roles:

Ricardo
hi, I am using virtual keyboard to press F8 on power on but VM boots normally. What am I missing? Thank you.
You are doing it right. It should work with the Virtual Keyboard but it is tricky since it might reboot before getting ready to press F8. You can also press the F8 key on your keyboard, placing the cursor on top of the Windows Virtual Machine.
Hi Guys,
I have been running this for a week and have been getting this error message. I have tried all the troubleshooting that I could lay my hands on, including those here but all to no avail.
ERROR- “The value for the parameter or option: version is missing”.
Hey
Divine Kokoti, Try to include a screenshot with any issues you have as it usually answers a lot of questions for us.. With that being said, do you have any screenshots you can send over?
Are you getting this error when you submit the IT lab, or is it a Windows Server or AD error?
After rebooting the pc in DSRM mode, and signing back in with the local admin account, I get an error that states, “The remote shared folder does not exist”. I stored the backup on the shared drive folder [ //sadc01/netlogon ]. I am not able to attach a screenshot in this comment .
Hi
Brandon Addai
That’s correct, I see the folders missing when entering in DSRM. That’s because you are in that special mode trying to recover AD. Your backup should be stored anyway on %systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol\[domain name]\scripts folder. The problem is we can’t trick the wizard during the recovery to use the local path unless you share the scripts folder. It will be a good idea to use another shared folder 🙂
Ricardo
Hello, so it’s probably a dumb question (I’m extremely new to this) but there’s no backup folder in the shared drive, and I have no idea how to create one, what do I do now? 🙁 Thank you in advance for any help!
Hi
Hamza Al-Koubaisi
You need to create the Backups folder under the C:\ drive. Check the following steps on how to do it:

Ricardo
I finally got it to back up but there is no active directory anymore smh
Oh! That is weird. Can you try it again? Sometimes doing it twice might give you different results.
I’m half-way through the Active Directory Backups lab but now can’t access it. I was waiting for it to restore the backup, went to make a cup of tea and when I came back I clicked ctrl-alt-del, but the screen just flickers for a second and nothing happens. The logon screen doesn’t appear. I’ve restarted it but it’s still doing the same thing.
Hi
Kirsty Hall
Thank you for letting us know. I will check on the lab to see if there’s any issue.
I see the lab is in a saved state and you might be able to resume it. Not sure if that might be the reason but you can always restart a new instance on the lab if needed.
Ricardo
I restarted it a few times and eventually it started working. I have downloaded the pdf showing that I have done it, but it isn’t showing up on my record as completed.
Glad to hear that you were able to complete it. I have gone ahead and marked the lab as complete for you.
The Lab time for this part is not enough. 30 min for Backup. 40 to 50 min to Backup recovery and the rest just forget
Hi
Mohammad Ali Karimi
There are a couple of 15-minute extensions which can give you more time. If this still is not enough, let us know.
Ricardo
I do the wbadmin command to restore the version – I get that the Share is not available.
Hi
Dale Green
Check if the share is available by entering the UNC path on the File Explorer window. If it is it might be a command syntax issue as well if the share is available.
Ricardo
tried this twice, it wouldn’t allow this command for -authsysvol and when i ran it without this and rebooted the system it then came up with the image attached
Hi
John Thorne
I was doing the lab doing the System State Backup suppressing the -authsysvol from the wbadmin in command prompt, but after reboot I don’t see the error as you shared on the screenshot. I note that you did it twice already so that is weird since we are doing the same IT lab. Did you do the reboot with msconfig? Can you reboot the server again after a backup?
Ricardo
right got it, the backup command worked with the -authsysvol command when i rebooted the machine using the msconfig procedure, the first two times i tried this, i tried the F8 system and selected the “directory services repair mode” and the wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:[Insert your version identifier here] –authsysvol wouldn’t run with the –authsysvol at the end, but it ran fine after rebooting the machine using the msconfig. so i have now passed that with this.
