Recover Active Directory User's Group Membership

Recover Active Directory User's Group Membership

In an Active Directory (AD) environment, it's quite common for users to delete or modify AD data accidentally. In such situations, AD admins need to restore the user account without any loss in data, group membership, or any other AD attribute. The recovery process followed must be thorough and effective because the user's membership to various security or distribution groups might play a vital role in the user's everyday tasks. The best way to accomplish such a thorough restore is to use a solution that offers you complete control over your Active Directory.

Recovery Manager Plus from ManageEngine is one such change management software solution that helps you undo any modifications made to AD attributes. Using this solution, you can instantly restore all AD attributes, including group memberships. Recovery Manager Plus associates a user and a group object based on their membership information. Therefore, when a user is added or removed from a group, both the user object and group object are backed up. This aids in restoring the user's group memberships.

Highlights of RecoveryManager Plus:

• Recover group membership of deleted users: Recovers deleted user objects along with their group memberships and all associated attributes.
• Undo accidental modification: Instantly recovers modified group membership data within seconds.
• Automatic recovery of linked objects: Recovers users along with their group associations to the last known state before deletion.
• Group Membership History: You can view a user's complete group membership history like the groups to which the user was added to and the groups from which the user was deleted to carry out an effective recovery.
• Group membership history: View a user's complete group membership history, like the groups to which the user was added to and the groups from which the user was deleted, to carry out an effective recovery.
• Restore primary group: Restores the primary group of a user when a user account is restored, ensuring that basic security permissions for that user are recovered when the user is restored.
• Attribute-level restoration: Supports attribute-level restoration through which individual attributes like Member Of can be restored, thereby granting a greater level of control to the administrator.
• Forced replication before backup: Ensures all modifications made after the last replication cycle, including group memberships and attributes, are replicated to maintain a consistent and reliable backup.
• Forced replication before backup: Ensures all modifications made after the last replication cycle, including group memberships and attributes, are replicated to maintain a consistent and reliable backup.
• Forced replication after recovery: Replicates the restored objects to all domain controllers after recovery, ensuring that the updated group membership information of the object is replicated to all other domain controllers.
