"whack it and rebuild" for getting a single user back? I'd preferr Brett's approach - it will certainly be easier if we knew AD domain/forest structure and version of OS (Win2003 SP1 does make a big difference)

If so, (without going out and having to buy a 3rd party piece of software) you can whack it and rebuild. You'll have to do the MetaDirectory cleanup for a DC removed from a domain improperly. If that's not feasible, when was your last system state backup? You can go into DSRM and initiate a non-authoritative restore.

So I did a bad thing, I deleted a user at a different site and marked his mailbox for deletion Immediately recognizing my mistake I *ran* to the server room and yanked the network cable of the dc I was connected to. For now, none of the changes have replicated. I want to bring this machine back online, but I don't want those changes to go through How would you make this happen?
