DESCRIPTION

Restores deleted Active Directory objects whose applicable tombstone lifetime or deleted object lifetime has not expired.
Depending on your settings and your environment, this cmdlet can restore deleted objects by using the following methods: - Restore deleted objects from Microsoft's Active Directory Recycle Bin (provided that it is available in your environment).

• Restore deleted objects from a backup registered with Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
• Reanimate object's tombstones.

You can only use this cmdlet when Windows PowerShell is started using MTA.
To start Windows PowerShell using MTA, run this command: PowerShell -mta

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Restore-RMADDeletedObject -Id d8742dcb-3e6a-4b3c-b3fe-374623cdcf06 -Backup 2b509d4e-40f5-4337-82f7-458584555d0c -ProcessRecycledObjects -Server dc1.mydomain.com

Retrieves the recycled object with the specified Id (GUID) from the domain controller dc1.mydomain.com, and then restores the object from the backup with the specified GUID.
This command is only applicable to environments where Microsoft's Active Directory Recycle Bin is enabled.
In this example, the Server parameter is mandatory.

In this example, the Server parameter is mandatory.

Example 3

PS C:\> Restore-RMADDeletedObject -Id d8742dcb-3e6a-4b3c-b3fe-374623cdcf06 -Backup 2b509d4e-40f5-4337-82f7-458584555d0c -Server dc1.mydomain.com -WindowsServerBackup -AsJob

DESCRIPTION

Restores the Active Directory objects that have specified parameters from a backup.
You can only use this cmdlet when Windows PowerShell is started using MTA.
To start Windows PowerShell using MTA, run this command: PowerShell -mta

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> $backups = Get-RMADBackup | Sort-Object -Property date -Descending

C:\PS>$object = Get-RMADObject -Id "user1"

C:\PS>Restore-RMADObject -Id $object.ObjectInfo.Guid -Backup $backups[0] -UseAgentlessMethod -NoReport

In the first line of this example, the Get-RMADBackup cmdlet gets all registered backups and sorts them by date in the descending order.
Then, the backup objects are stored in the $backups variable.

Example 2

PS C:\> $b = Get-RMADBackup -Id 1

C:\PS>Restore-RMADObject -Id "user1" -Backup $b -Attribute samAccountName,description -ReportUnchangedAttributes

Start-RMADReportViewer

In the first line of this example, the Get-RMADBackup cmdlet gets the registered backup whose ID is 1.
Then, the backup object is stored in the $b variable.
