Identity with Windows Server 2016 — Question 16

Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest functional level is Windows Server 2016.
You have a failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 has two nodes named Server1 and Server2. All the optional features in Active Directory are enabled.
A junior administrator accidentally deletes the computer object named Cluster1.
You discover that Cluster1 is offline.
You need to restore the operation of Cluster1 in the least amount of time possible.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Run the Enable-ADAccount cmdlet from Windows PowerShell.
• B. Perform an authoritative restore by running ntdutil.exe.
• C. Perform a tombstone reanimation by running ldp.exe.
• D. Recover a deleted object from the Active Directory Recycle Bin.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because recovering a deleted object from the Active Directory Recycle Bin is the most efficient way to restore the Cluster1 computer object. Options A and B do not directly address the issue of a deleted object, while option C involves a more complex process that is unnecessary for this situation.
