Adrestore from SysInternals will restore deleted AD objects, and keep
the SID. Then you can manually reattach the mailbox.

Subject: ADC and accidental deletion
Heres the situation.
In the beginning phases of a 5.5 to 2003 migration.
An admin accidently deletes an OU containing some mail accounts in AD.
Luckily they were resource mailboxes (disabled user accounts). But they
are needed.
These mailboxes had not been moved to 2003 yet. And i've turned off the
ADC CA that kept this OU up to date. Is there anyone to pervent this
deletion from trickling down to the 5.5 side? It occured to me that i
could modify the CA to 1) be a one way CA which would create the deleted
items in AD, or
2) set the CA to not actually delete the 5.5 objects, though what i'd do
after that i'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.
K
PS. By the time i'd gotten the phone call, it was already too late to
look into an authoritative restore.
