Abstract
Methods and systems for performing rapid recovery of deleted object in Active Directory. The invention allows automated recovery of any object at any point in an Active Directory hierarchy. In one embodiment, the method for recovering a deleted object includes determining whether the object of interest is contained in the tombstone and, if not, recursively evaluating higher-order parent nodes until a parent node is found that exists in the tombstone. The object of interest can then be reanimated and its attributes automatically restored as well as those for all of the children of the object of interest.
