Not
sure about a new API to restore deleted objects, but there is a procedure
you can follow to do it. It is outlined here:

And saw this
blurb:
| Add an option for Active
Directory to undelete deleted objects.
| Provides an option to
"undelete" or support online recovery by reanimating tombstones. ISVs
can write applications to call this API to reanimate a tombstone and add
value by restoring other attribute data, thereby providing an "online"
restore capability. This feature provides an API to reanimate tombstones
without hacking into the ESE database. ISVs can differentiate their
products by restoring other data that is not recovered by this feature.
| Take a domain controller
offline, perform a restore from backup media, and then authoritatively
restore the one object of interest. |
I assume this has to do
with the statement put out by MS someone posted recently. Does anyone
know of product plans exploiting this new API?
