vceguide.com has a network that consists of a single Active Directory domain.
A technician has accidently deleted an Organizational unit (OU) on the domain controller. As an administrator of vceguide.com, you are in process of restoring the OU.
You need to execute a non-authoritative restore before an authoritative restore of the OU.

Performing a Nonauthoritative Restore of AD DS
To perform a nonauthoritative restore of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), you need at least a system state backup.
To restore a system state backup, use the wbadmin start systemstaterecovery command. The procedure in this topic uses the wbadmin start systemstaterecovery command.
You can also use a critical-volume backup to perform a nonauthoritative restore, or a full server backup if you do not have a system state or critical-volume backup. A full server backup is generally larger than a critical-volume backup or system state backup. Restoring a full server backup not only rolls back data in AD DS to the time of backup, but it also rolls back all data in other volumes. Rolling back this additional data is not necessary to achieve nonauthoritative restore of AD DS. To restore a critical-volume backup or full server backup, use the wbadmin start recovery command.
