Restoring Deleted AD Objects in Server 2008

Are you still thinking to yourself, "I just can't find a compelling reason to move to Server 2008." Well, the improvements to Active Directoy alone (not to mention Terminal Services) should drive you to change that opinion.

One interesting new feature of Server 2008 that helps reduce the "oh, crap" out of the "oops" when you accidentally delete objects out of Active Directory are Server 2008's improved AD restore tools...

With the improvements to restore in Server 2008, you needn't worry nearly as much when a junior administrator with too many rights right-clicks the Users OU and hits Delete.

I write more on the specific details in my weekly quickTIP article in MCP Magazine:
