Restoring objects from AD Recycle Bin

We have all been there before – a support representative calls and goes on to share that an AD object has been accidentally deleted either manually or automatically. The discussion quickly turns to raising the following questions for restoration:

• What type of AD object has been deleted and are there any attributes that might be lost due to the deletion?
