Enabling the AD Recycle Bin
To enable the Active Directory Recycle Bin, perform the following steps:
1. Click Start, All Programs, Administrative Tools. Right-click on Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell and then click Run As Administrator.
2. From the PowerShell prompt, type the following command.
Enable-ADOptionalFeature –Identity ‘CN=Recycle Bin Feature,CN=Optional
Features,CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows
NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=companyabc,DC=com’ –Scope
ForestOrConfigurationSet –Target ‘companyabc.com’
Replace companyabc.com and DC=companyabc,DC=com with the appropriate name of the domain where the AD Recycle Bin will be enabled.
3. When prompted, type Y to confirm and press Enter.
4. To validate that the Recycle Bin is enabled, go to the CN=Partitions container, using an editor such as ADSIEdit. In the details pane, find the msDS-EnabledFeature attribute, and confirm that the value includes the Recycle Bin target domain name that you typed in step 2.
