Re: Authoritative AD restore

Thats the exact syntax on the site. But if your object's cn has a space in
it, this method fails.

isn't this the syntax?: ntdsutil "authoritative restore" "restore object
<object DN path>" q q

and isn't it enclosed by quotes as you see above?

can you provide the link that contains that information that you are talking
about?

It's confusing because it doesn't describe the syntax, and the example
they
give doesn't have a space so it wouldn't run into the same errors I did.
The
object DN path is obvious, that I had to separate the commands by line and
surround the DN with quotes (not at all how they showed) is not obvious.

so, what is confusing about:
ntdsutil "authoritative restore" "restore object <object DN path>" q q
<object DN path> is just what it says... the DN of the object, not the
sam,
not the cn or whatever

I finally go it working using this

ntdsutil
authoritative restore
restore object "cn=bruce wayne,cn=users,dc=hephaestus,dc=ds,dc=com"

Someone really should edit that microsoft document, it's confusing as
all
hell. Not user-friendly whatsoever.
