Windows Administration: Disaster Recovery: Active Directory Users and Groups

How do you recover a AD user if accidently deleted? other than a full AD recover. Just one stinking user restore. You mean I have to use this LDP.exe tool. holy crap...that many steps just to get one stinking user back?? you mean there is no other way besides a full AD authoritative restore? my God!

is there any other better tool than this???

Windows 2008 has a recycle bin feature.

For 2003:

AdRestore

Or...

SDM Software Group Policy Freeware

AD cmdlets for object undelete Dmitry’s PowerBlog: PowerShell and beyond

Quest has a Recovery Manager for Active Directory product, and Symantec's Backup Exec can do granular restores if you buy the AD agent. Both can recover individual attributes of AD objects, the entire objects themselves, or entire containers of objects.

AD recycle bin is a 2008 R2 feature, just for the record. It requires enabling as it is not on by default.
