samba - Jan 2014 - New Wiki HowTo: Restoring deleted AD objects

Hello,

after 2 month of being offline, I finally got a working internet 
connection again and can announce myself back to continue working on 
HowTos in the Wiki. :-)

During the last time, I did a lot of research about the possibilities 
and limitations of restoring deleted objects in a Samba AD. I think it 
is a very helpfull topic for administrators. The results I wrote down in 
a new HowTo:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Restoring_deleted_AD_objects

During reading you will discover, that Samba doesn't provide the 
capabilities yet, you may know from Windows. I mentioned the pitfalls in 
a 'known issues' section and of course I've reported the 
incompatibilities/bugs (#10371 and #10403)

Out of this HowTo a small second one has been risen:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Raising_the_functional_levels
(Also found a problem here, when raising the levels from Windows: #10360)

Any kind of feedback is welcome. :-)

Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,

Thanks, noticed one typo in the section "Raising the domain functional
level":
The last command should use --domain-level instead of --forest-level.
Cannot edit it myself.
