4        Click Ok. You see the Windows login screen indicating that the VFC is available.

5        Enter the credentials for the Windows client and press Enter.

6        After verifying that the VFC is running with its restored data, turn off audit mode. For instructions, see To turn off audit mode for a virtual failover client.
