Practice question 444 of 506 · hard

A deleted subtree replicated everywhere and Recycle Bin cannot recover it. A valid backup contains it. What sequence fits targeted authoritative recovery?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Restore the backup in DSRM, mark the subtree authoritative, then restart normally
  2. B.Restart normally before marking the old subtree authoritative
  3. C.Only restore the SYSVOL share because it contains all AD user objects
  4. D.Copy the live Ntds.dit file onto every running DC
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Restore the backup in DSRM, mark the subtree authoritative, then restart normally

Marking the restored subtree before normal replication makes it win. Premature restart can reapply deletion; live database copying is unsupported; SYSVOL does not contain the AD user database.
