Restore of Active Directory Users/Group/Organizational Unit from the Active Directory Recovery Agent (ADRA) based backup set fails with the error "Unable to restore File Attributes Security or Directory Security information"

Problem

Restore of Active Directory Users/Group/Organizational Unit from the Active Directory Recovery Agent (ADRA) based backup set fails with the below mentioned error message.

Error Message

0xe000848e - Unable to restore File Attributes Security or Directory Security information.

Cause

This behavior is by design. The restore job fails while restoring the group membership information.

Solution


Even though the restore job status shows failure , the user/group is still restored with all the details.
If the Group being restored has users from another OU's, then the first restore will not restore the membership of those users (belonging to another OU's). Run another restore with only the group selected and the group membership information will be restored.
