Does implementing AD Recyle Bin cause issues with trying to recover deleted users prior to implement
Hi OSGDan
I hadn't come across your particular issue previously, but I'm not sure I've had to restore any users from before AD Recycle Bin had been enabled so I've just run your scenario in my lab and replicated the problem; the objects I deleted before the Recyle Bin was recovered could not be restored via LDP.
I've done a bit more digging and found the following MS document on this:
One of the blue boxes shows that this any deleted objects before the Recycle bin is enabled cannot be restored via LTP because they are not deleted objects anymore, but rather Recycled Objects
It seems that an authoritative restore is the only way to get these objects back. I've always backed up AD before enabling Recycle Bin in a production environment anyway just in case things go south but hadn't realized before that enabling Recycle Bin would banjax anything already deleted.
Hope this helps,
Mark
