It is not possible to only enable this in one domain. It's a forest-level feature. Here's the sample syntax from the docs:
Enable-ADOptionalFeature –Identity ‘CN=Recycle Bin Feature,CN=Optional Features,CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com’ –Scope ForestOrConfigurationSet –Target ‘contoso.com’ Thanks, Brian Desmond w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2017 2:08 PM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [NTSysADM] Problems enabling AD Recycle Bin My AD is Win 2008 R2 (forest and domain level). I have a parent-child domain structure, and want to enable the AD Recycle Bin in the child domain. I am getting an error of "A referral was returned form the server". Q: Do I need to be doing this on the child DC, or on the root DC? Specifically, I am doing (in Active Directory Module for Powershell (as Administrator): Enable-ADOptional Feature "Recycle Bin Feature" -Scope ForestorConfigurationSet -Target (Get-ADForect -Current LocalComputer) I am doing this on the PDC of the child domain. Do I need to be doing this on the Domain Naming Master, which is in the Root domain? And - if so - will enabling it there, then enable it for both domains?
