By using AdRestore.exe or ADRestore.NET, you can implement tombstone reanimation method to restore deleted objects from Active Directory database easily. So it basically do the same as using LDP in my previous post, Restore Deleted Objects in Active Directory Database Using Tombstone Reanimation (LDP.EXE)

AdRestore.exeFormerly Sysinternals and now Microsoft, Mark Russinovich has created a command-line freeware application called ADRestore. The tool enumerates all of the currently tombstoned objects in a domain and allows you to restore them selectively, and provides a convenient command-line interface for using the Active Directory reanimation functionality.
ADRestore.NETRestoring objects with ADRestore.netGuy Teverovsky has written a GUI version that allows you to easily restore deleted AD objects.I found this tool will help you a lot when you need to restore more than one deleted objects, for example, an OU contains some objects.
Windows Server 2003 introduces the ability to restore deleted("tombstoned") objects. This simple command-line utility enumerates thedeleted objects in a domain and gives you the option of restoring eachone. Source code is based on sample code in the Microsoft Platform SDK.This MS KB article describes the use of AdRestore:

The tool enumerates all of the currently tombstoned objects in a domain and allows you to restore them selectively, and provides a convenient command-line interface for using the Active Directory reanimation functionality. If you run it from the command line you will be prompted to choose which object you want to restore, and since there could be quite a few tombstoned objects, this process might take some time as you answer NO to each and every prompt.To add a little selectivity to the restore operation, you can run ADRestore with a parameter to narrow down the search. For example:

Here the demo steps: I deleted an OU named Accounting contained some objects including users and groups. Enumerating Tombstones First restore the OU. Then restore the other objects one by one. Until the last object Then view the result You can see from the steps above that using ADRestore.NET will be a lot of easier to restore more than one objects: -reanimation-using-adrestore-exe-and-adrestore-net/
Reanimating deleted objects in Active Directory can be done using several methods. The following are some of the most commonly used native methods for restoring deleted objects in the Active Directory.
Note- The Active Directory Recycle Bin should be enabled if you are using any of the above mentioned method. In case, AD Recycle Bin is not enabled then most object attributes will be removed when the objects were deleted. You have to be manually added them after restoring the objects.
There are instances when objects you need are accidentally or intentionally deleted from the Active Directory. In such cases, the Lepide Object Restore Wizard (part of Lepide Data Security Platform) enables you to roll-back those changes to their original state in a single click.
It is able to do this by automatically capturing backup snapshots of Active Directory and Group Policy Objects and saving their state at regular intervals. Administrators can use these snapshots to restore the deleted and modified objects.
Using these snapshots, you can restore even those objects which are in a physically deleted or recycled state. After starting the wizard, Lepide Data Security Platform lets you select the backup snapshot with which you want to compare the current state of Active Directory. The user reaches at the following page after this comparison and it shows the list of deleted and modified objects in Active Directory.
On top of each of the four columns are fields that enable you to filter the list of the displayed tombstone objects. This feature can be useful if you have a large Active Directory database from which objects are deleted daily.
Depending on your system environment and business practices, you can increase or decrease the deleted object lifetime and the tombstone lifetime. If you want your deleted objects to be recoverable for longer than the default 180 days, you can increase the deleted object lifetime. If you want your recycled objects to be recoverable (through authoritative restore) for longer than the default 180 days, you can also increase the tombstone lifetime.
The Active Directory Recycle Bin is disabled by default. In order to use it to restore deleted objects, you must enable it. You cannot restore any objects deleted before Recycle Bin was enabled. Note that Recycle Bin can be enabled only once without a possibility to disable it afterwards.
For the comprehensive recovery capabilities required for business continuity and security, you need recovery software with granular version control and surgical recovery options. Netwrix StealthRECOVER enables you to restore objects that are not recoverable via the AD Recycle Bin, as well as changes to objects that are not deleted and are therefore never put into the Recycle Bin. It captures point-in-time snapshots of all AD objects, Group Policy objects and DNS records on a scheduled basis, and provides a complete record of all changes. As a result, you can easily restore any version of an object in its entirety, or granularly roll back specific attributes. You can even restore an entire AD domain to a known good state, minimizing downtime and disruption to your business.
If an object in your Active Directory (AD) environment has been deleted and you need to recover it, Microsoft provides a few different ways to do that. This guide will explain the steps needed to restore deleted AD objects with all their attributes intact.
For any of the above methods to work, the native AD Recycle Bin must be enabled. If Recycle Bin is not enabled, most object attributes will be removed when the objects are deleted. The objects can still be restored, but the missing attributes will have to be manually added back.
With RecoveryManager Plus, you can restore objects with all their attributes intact, even if the native Recycle Bin is not enabled; this is possible because RecoveryManager Plus comes bundled with its own Recycle Bin feature. All AD objects that have been deleted can be found there, and you can even preview the attributes that will be restored along with the object. You can also use the available filters to limit the search results to required object type (user, OU, group, etc.), or search for the deleted object by name.
This particular PowerShell script is intended for situations where you need to recover many (more than a few) deleted user objects. First, it asks the administrator for the number of hours ago the users were deleted. It then iterates through all deleted user objects in the current Active Directory domain. If any deleted object has a "last update" timestamp less than the threshold entered, it is recovered back to its original OU. NOTE: It is assumed in this script that the original OU structure is in-place. To accomplish the recovery, the script invokes adrestore.exe and pipes in the "y" character to confirm the operation. I could have coded the recovery process myself directly in the PowerShell script using the .NET LDAP libraries, but I decided on a simpler solution using this well known, free utility. You will need to download adrestore.exe (link) and place the executable in the same directory as the script. 2ff7e9595c
