Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Server has introduced a new Active Directory "Recycle Bin" feature, which works analogous to the well-known Windows deleted files wastebin. [1] Using the ADRB functionality allows on-line restoration of accidentally deleted AD objects, alleviating the need to take a DC off-line for minor recovery tasks (e.g. revive a few users or OU). The new "AD Recycle Bin" facility is currently only available in fully Windows 2008 R2 based server environments.
