# Active Directory Page

On the Active Directory page, you can access all the domains that you have configured through the
[Domains Page](/docs/recoveryforactivedirectory/3.1/admin/configuration/domain.md).

Click **Active Directory** in the left pane to open the Active Directory page.

![Active Directory page](/images/recoveryforactivedirectory/3.1/product/active_directory/active_directory.png)

Select a domain from the drop-down menu and expand it to view the domain tree and container
structure, which is exactly the same as you get in Active Directory Users and Computers. Objects in
the domain are also available in the same hierarchical structure.

The page displays the following information:

- Name – The display name of the object
- Distinguished Name – The unique name identifying the object in the directory
- Description – A description of the object
- Type – The object type, showing whether it is a container, organizational unit, computer, group,
user, etc.
- Backup Time – The date and time of the last the backup

You can perform the rollback and recover operations for objects.

## Search for an Object

There are several ways to find an object:

- Column Filters – Click a column header to organize the table alphabetically by the column header.
An arrow appears by the column name. Use it to arrange the entries by ascending or descending
order.
- Search box – Enter a text string in the search box to filter the table for results that contain
the text.

## Rollback an Object

Select and expand a domain in the left pane and locate the object you want to rollback. Right-click
this object and select **Rollback** on the menu. See the [Rollback Objects](/docs/recoveryforactivedirectory/3.1/admin/activedirectory/rollback.md) topic for
additional information.

## Recover Deleted Objects

On expanding a domain in the left pane, you will notice that Recycle Bin is in blue, indicating that
this is a virtual container specific to Identity Recovery. Use the Recycle Bin to
recover deleted objects in Active Directory. See the [Recover Objects](/docs/recoveryforactivedirectory/3.1/admin/activedirectory/recover.md) topic for
additional information.

- Restore the container object and the immediate children – Restores the container object and
its immediate children
- Restore the entire sub-tree – Restores the container object and all children

:::note
Selecting the Restore the container object and the immediate children or the Restore
the entire sub-tree option enables the User Options page.
:::


- Naming Conflict – A naming conflict can occur if an object was created post-deletion that has
identical values to the original object. From the drop-down menu, select an option to implement if
a naming conflict occurs:

- Skip the object – If there is a conflict with naming, do not restore and skip the object
- Automatically use alternative values – If there is a conflict with naming, a numeric value
will be appended to the name of the object being restored to create a unique name

**Step 8 –** Click **Next**.

![Object Restore wizard - User Options page](/images/recoveryforactivedirectory/3.1/product/active_directory/recovery/active_directory_recovery_page4.png)

**Step 9 –** The User Options page is displayed when user objects are being restored. When a user
object is included as a child object being restored, this page is also displayed. Select the check
boxes to configure the necessary options for the user.

- Enable user – Enables the user in Active Directory
- Clear 'User must change password' flag upon restoration – Restored users do not receive an alert
to change their password upon first login after a recovery. Instead, their old password prior to
deletion is still active.
- Set new password – Implement a new password upon recovery. Type the new password in the text box.

:::tip
Remember, when a new password is created, the user needs it to login the first time. The
password should be copied and given to the restored user.
