Yeah, that's what I originally did, to generate the error. :-) So you're saying I have to do this up in the root domain, because that's where the forest starts? And once I do, it'll be enabled for the root domain and the child domain, since the feature will bubble down to all domains in the forest? > > Thanks, > Brian Desmond > > w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Michael Leone > Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2017 2:08 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [NTSysADM] Problems enabling AD Recycle Bin > > My AD is Win 2008 R2 (forest and domain level).
