Restore deleted Group Policy objects, Windows Server 2003 R2
Somebody has deleted several AD Group Policies from the GP snap-in, but they are still in the SYSVOL folder on the DC. Is there anyway I can undlete them as we still have the policy in the SYSVOL?
The server is Server 2003 R2, thanks in advance.

Yeah I'd seen that, it's for a 2000 server but I'm sure it's the same for 2003. I'm really looking for some kind of super dooper tool to 'undelete' these GPO's if there's one out there....???

there is a specific Ms guide that will get you started
assuming you haven't set up specific GPO backups

Thanks, but that's the same link as above.
No, i think there is no tool. Sorry
Do you use GPMC, if Yes you can restore the GPO from the GPMC.

Once the GPO is restored it wont apply to the OU's which it had applied earlier.To do this

Isn't the AD recycle bin a 2008 server only feature?

Will this work in my situation, i.e. I didn't have it installed, I install it and it can 'undelete' things, or does it have to have been installed in the first place (before the GPO's were deleted) to do any good?
