Use this page to mark individual Active Directory® (AD) objects, a subtree, or the entire AD database as authoritatively restored. To mark AD objects, subtree, or the entire AD database as authoritative, RMAD uses the capabilities provided by the Ntdsutil.exe tool supplied with Microsoft Windows®. However, this tool included in Windows Server® 2008 or higher does not support marking the entire AD database as authoritative.
Mark no objects as authoritatively restored. Marks no restored objects as authoritative.
Mark the entire directory as authoritatively restored. Marks the entire Active Directory database (both the domain and configuration naming contexts held by the domain controller) as authoritative. The schema cannot be authoritatively restored.
Mark a subtree or individual object as authoritatively restored. Marks an individual object or a container along with all the objects it contains (a subtree) as authoritative. The object or container is defined by specifying its distinguished name in the Distinguished name box.
An authoritative restore is an advanced operation that affects the entire domain. Try to avoid using authoritative restore unless you realize all of its implications. With the Repair Wizard, the authoritative restore of the SYSVOL does not occur automatically after an authoritative restore of Active Directory®, additional steps are required. For more information, see Restoring SYSVOL authoritatively.
