Your network contains an Active Directory domain.
The domain contains two Active Directory sites named Site1 and Site2.
Site1 contains two domain controllers named DC1 and DC2.
Site2 contains two domain controllers named DC3 and DC4.
The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2008 R2.
The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2003.
Active Directory replication between Site1 and Site2 occurs from 20:00 to 01:00 every day.
At 07:00, an administrator deletes a user account while he is logged on to DC1.
You need to restore the deleted user account.
You want to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A. On DC3, stop Active Directory Domain Services, perform an authoritative restore, and then start Active Directory Domain Services.
B. On DC3, run the Restore-ADObject cmdlet.
C. On DC1, run the Restore-ADObject cmdlet.
D. On DC1, stop Active Directory Domain Services, restore the SystemState, and then start Active Directory Domain Services.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Practically the same question as E/Q33 and J/Q2.
We cannot use Restore-ADObject, because Restore-ADObject is a part of the Recycle Bin feature, and you can only use Recycle Bin when the forest functional level is set to Windows Server 2008 R2. In the question text it says "The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2003."

Performing an authoritative restore on DC3 updates the Update Sequence Number (USN) on that DC, which causes it to replicate the restored user account to other DC’s.

"An authoritative restore restores data that was lost and updates the Update Sequence Number (USN) for the data to make it authoritative and ensure that it is replicated to all other servers."

Authoritative restore of AD DS has the following requirements:

. You must stop the Active Directory Domain Services service before you run the ntdsutil authoritative restore command and restart the service after the command is complete.
