Active directory restore
Hi All,
I have windows server 2008 active directory and exchange 2007.
After I moved all the mailboxes to exchange online, I was attempting to decommissioning exchange 2007.
along the way, I removed most mailboxes and deleted some domain corresponding to mailboxes.
I have tried to adrestore on all deleted users. however, all password and permission is gone.
there is any way that I can restore it.
I have backup but the image is no good.
Thanks

You should have enabled the Recycle feature. That might have helped you to recover back everything. In current situation you need to set the password and permission manually. I don't suggest to restore AD backup. That could create more issues.
