I agree completely - that is the attraction of the lag sites - I have something in which I can push a change back out from a time delayed replica to where the object sill exists.
And I agree as well - if there is a DC that has the object required - by all means, repl it back out authoritatively.

Hmmm, maybe I misunderstoood ... I understood he has a user deleted on some DCs, but not on others. He doesn't want the user deleted. He can then just take a DC with the user, auth restore the user, let that replicate out. Yes, the delete change will try to replicate out, but when it hits the auth restore the delete operation will essentially be tossed. I mean this is the whole attraction to hot sites is it not?
