Hands-On Exercise: Performing an Authoritative
Restore of Active Directory
With regards to restoring Active Directory, the most common of all the possible problems
is that someone deletes an object either on purpose or accidentally. To recover the
deleted object, you will need to perform an authoritative restore of the object, and then
mark whatever objects you want restored as authoritative. In this example, we restore a
deleted user account with the distinguished name of CN=TestUser,CN=Users,DC=TES
TDOM2,DC=LOCAL.
1. Perform a non-authoritative restore of Active Directory, but don??™t restart the server
into normal mode (in other words, stop at step 14 from the preceding procedure if
you followed those instructions on performing a non-authoritative restore).
