Tom’s AD Object Recovery

The Active Directory in Windows refers to the physical entities that make up a network and the location where the operating system stores all values and attributes of recorded objects. If an object is deleted, then it means that any attempt to log on or authenticate is going to be unsuccessful.
Tom’s AD Object Recovery is a lightweight piece of software that allows you to search for and restore Active Directory objects with all attributes intact, providing that Recycle Bin is enabled.

Allows you to find various Active Directory objects

After a fast and straightforward installation, you are welcomed by an appealing and user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate and well-structured. The UI consists of a resizable window designed with ribbons and that features a single tab.
The idea behind the program is to provide you with a quick and painless method to search for Active Directory items that you have deleted intentionally or by mistake. To be more precise, the app enables you to find computer, user, group, organizational units, print queues and full volume encryption objects that are deleted on your system.

Includes filters so you can search for the object you want

It is worth mentioning that duration of the query for the entities can take up to a few minutes, depending on the time passed since the object was deleted. As soon as the query is over, the app displays extra info such as the dates when it was created, changed and the last known parent.
The tool allows you to preview a list of the entities that can be recovered and select the ones that you want to restore. You should bear in mind that the recovery aims to restore objects with all their attributes intact so that you cannot encounter errors whenever you try to access an account associated with it.
While it is rather inconspicuous, the application comes with a search function that enables you to search for an object via its corresponding value. The search box can be found in the lower area of the UI.

A useful tool for restoring Active Directory deleted objects

In the eventuality that you accidentally deleted user, computer or other objects that are associated with Active Directory, then you can attempt to revert the process via Tom’s AD Object Recovery.
