active directory recycle bin --- it is a good feature , please enable it whenever possible
I happen to have a chance to use that feature in a sort of an emergence
it is like a user Jane Doe got deleted last Friday, and something happened that a new user could not pick up what Jame Doe got ( this happened before I got involved)
so the client wanted Jane Doe's file and emails back
in the active directory admin center -- deleted objects --- I saw some recently deleted ids. but those ids not showing up as Jane Doe.... the original Jane Doe must be renamed before deletion
so I created a restore OU, and restored the user
the customer's AD is like server 2012 R2 AD + Exchange 2013 ...
depends how the user got deleted , you may or may not need re-attach user's mailbox
and I noticed it took a while to re-attach the user's mailbox
.......... phew .........
so active directory recycle bin is such a good thing
otherwise ... restore from backup .... how boring will that be
