RECYCLE BIN

ADD RECYCLE BIN

Although it is not strictly speaking a backup, the Recycle Bin can restore an object deleted from AD to the last known state.

Pour l'ajouter :

  • Go to the Active Directory Administrative Center.

  • Select your domain (in my case geekmunity.local).

  • Select "Enable Recycle Bin".

USE RECYCLE BIN

  • Go to the Active Directory Administrative Center.

  • Select your domain (in my case geekmunity.local).

  • Research "Deleteds object".

  • Select the object to restore.

  • Select "restore" (to put it back in its original place) or "restored to" (to put it back in the location of your choice).

RECYCLE BIN LIMITS

  • The restoration of several objects must be done in a specific order. (highest object first).

  • The recycle bin only keeps deleted objects in memory for a certain time.

To change this delay in PowerShell : (Set-adobject -Server xxxx “cn=Directory Service,cn=Windows NT,cn=Services,cn=Configuration,dc=xxxx,dc=xxxx” -Replace @{‘tombstonelifetime’=”240″})

RECYCLE BIN ADVANTAGES

  • Available from Windows Server 2008.

  • Simple and efficient graphical interface since 2012.
