Background
- The Recycle Bin feature introduced with Windows Server® 2008 R2 provided an architecture permitting complete object recovery
- Scenarios requiring object recovery via the Recycle Bin are typically high-priority
- Recovery from accidental deletions, for example, resulting in failed logons/work-stoppages
- The absence of a rich, graphical interface complicated its usage and slowed recovery
Solution
- Simplify object recovery through the inclusion of a Deleted Objects node in the Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC)
- Deleted objects can now be recovered within the graphical user interface
- Reduces recovery-time by providing a discoverable, consistent view of deleted object
Requirements
- Recycle Bin requirements must be met:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 forest functional level
- Recycle Bin optional-feature must be switched on
- Windows Server “8” Beta Active Directory Administrative Center
- Objects requiring recovery must have been deleted within Deleted Object Lifetime (DOL)
- Defaults to 180 days
