Azure backup restore

Question

Azure backup restore

Vishu 1,736

If I have a SUSE Linux 15.x VM which is integrated with AD and having the name say testvm.xyz.com where xyz is the domain name

If the backup taken of this VM through azure backup is restored in another subscription in the same tenant, I understand that the VM restored would no longer be integrated with the AD. But what would be the name of the restored VM, would it be testvm.xyz.com or testvm

Hi @Vishu

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

When you restore a VM in another subscription, what you are doing is creating a new VM with the restore point that you choose, in that screen you can set the VM name.

Important:

This name will be at the Azure level, and at the OS level, it will have the same name (and credentials) as the original VM.
If the VM has access to your active directory, it will authenticate as the original VM, this will cause authentication issues.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Soysoliscarlos.

Is it right that all the domain credentials will be same in both the VMs. However

1) Will the restored VM be in domain.
2) If no, will it carry any domain entries in it which will prohibit it from being integrated with another AD tenant.

Hi @Vishu

1) Will the restored VM be in domain.
For your domain controller will be the same original VM, so, be careful, because if you restore the VM to the same domain network you can have identity conflicts between the original VM and the restored one.

2) If no, will it carry any domain entries in it which will prohibit it from being integrated with another AD tenant.
You can restore the VM in an isolated environment or in another Domain, and you can use the old credentials to access the VM, once you are inside the VM you can join it to the new domain without any problem.

Hope this helps!
