Reanimate tombstone objects or restoring from a system state backup
Tombstone reanimation is a process to restore an object that had been deleted from the Active Directory. When an object is deleted from Active Directory, it is not physically erased, but only marked as deleted. It is then possible to reanimate (restore) the object.- Restoring Active Directory objects using the GUI and command line
To restore individual Active Directory objects, you must run the Tivoli Storage Manager client on a domain controller and your user account must be a member of the Administrators group. The Active Directory objects are not displayed in the directory tree if your user account is not a member of the Administrators group. - Restrictions and limitations when restoring Active Directory objects
There are some restrictions and limitations to be aware of when restoring Active Directory objects. - Preserve attributes in tombstone objects
To specify an attribute to be preserved in the tombstone object, first locate this attribute in the Active Directory schema, then update the searchFlags attribute of the schema object. - Modifying the client acceptor and agent services to use the Web client
You cannot restore individual Active Directory objects using the Web client by default. The Web client services (CAD and agent) run under the Local System account by default. The Local System account does not have enough privileges to restore Active Directory objects.
