Explanation

To do an authoritative restore, we need to load a previous version of the AD database (from before the time that replication occurred). The AD database is included in the System State backup, so this should suffice. Since the DC's run R2, we could raise the functional level of the forest and/or domain if we wanted to use the AD Recycle Bin feature, but this cannot be used to restore objects from before the feature was implemented. The tombstone lifetime in an Active Directory forest determines how long a deleted object (called a "tombstone") is retained in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Reference:
