Case Study: Rehrig Pacific Company achieves fast, granular Active Directory disaster recovery with Quest

Manufacturer ensures fast and reliable AD backup and recovery

Rehrig Pacific Company, a leading plastic manufacturer, needed a more reliable way to protect its complex Active Directory environment. Native recovery tools were slow and coarse—making it difficult to recover individual objects or attributes, restore without downtime, or quickly identify changes—leaving the IT team unsure they could meet their recovery objectives if disaster struck.

Rehrig deployed Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory on AWS EC2 and completed deployment in 26 minutes with a full test recovery in 20 minutes. The solution enabled granular restores (including single-attribute recovery) without restarting domain controllers, significantly reduced downtime, and restored user access quickly—giving the company the confidence and “insurance” it needed for AD disaster recovery; they also adopted Quest Security Explorer to simplify ongoing permissions management.
