Netwrix Identity Recovery

Quick, granular recovery of Active Directory objects and configurations.

"Used when AD objects, attributes or group memberships are lost, corrupted or misconfigured and rapid, granular recovery is required."

Recover Active Directory objects, attributes and group memberships

Active Directory changes, accidental deletions and corruption interrupt authentication and access. Restoring services from backups or rebuilding domain controllers takes time and increases risk of errors.

Netwrix Identity Recovery enables targeted restoration of AD objects, attributes and group memberships so administrators can return directories to a known good state without full domain controller restores. It speeds recovery and reduces the operational impact of directory incidents.

Where Netwrix Identity Recovery is used

Recover deleted user accounts, group memberships and object attributes after accidental changes or mistaken scripts. Use targeted restores to avoid broad rollbacks and minimise disruption to users and services.

Restore AD configurations and objects following corruption or configuration errors to shorten outage windows. The product supports complex AD estates where selective recovery reduces restore complexity.
