LostandFound ??

[bisha]

I'm reading that after you delete an AD object it goes to
LostandFound. I did a test deleted a user and Lostand
Found is still empty. How can I configure the Tombsotne
interval ?

Thank you in advance

Win2K deletes tombstone objects 60 days after their original tombstone
status setting. To change this default time, modify the tombstonelifetime
setting under the
cd=DirectoryServices,cn=WindowsNT,cn=Services,cn=Configuration,dc=DomainName
parameter. However, I wouldn't set this too low, because you'll wind up
having replication conflicts where intentionally-deleted items become
re-enabled.'

What object goes to LostandFound after deletion.I deleted
a test user and it didnt go on LF.
Do I need to use a special viewer to view LostandFound??

Orphaned objects goes into LostAndFound, let me give an example.
If an object is created in an OU on one DC, but on another DC that
particular OU is deleted (replication hasn't occured yet). During the next
replication cycle this object will be orphaned and thus put into
LostAndFound.

Forgot one thing, you can use Ldp to see the objects.
