Active Directory restoration of deleted computer account with Restore-ADobject cmdlet
Someone at some point deleted one of our servers from active directory which i just noticed today. I have ran the powershell to search the deleted items container and found the object there. We do not have the recyling bin enabled so I will need to use the powershell to do this.
The command I am running to find the computer object is as follows.
get-adobject -filter 'isDeleted -eq $true' -IncludeDeletedObjects | where-object {$_.name -like "servername*" -and $_.objectclass -eq "computer"}
This returns a single object of the computer account.
Now to restore it I can simply pipe to restore-Adobject
get-adobject -filter 'isDeleted -eq $true' -IncludeDeletedObjects | where-object {$_.name -like "boslitfs02*" -and $_.objectclass -eq "computer"} | restore-adobject
Is there anything else needed or any issues I may run into? I usually would just disjoin/rejoin domain for this type of issue but this server is taking part in a DFS namespace.
Any help is appreacited.
