Suppression accidentelle de tout Active Directory

ayi

While re-partitioning a Server 2003 R2 domain controller, we accidentally deleted le partition that held le Active Directory database folder (D:\AD\Data). The D:\ was a partition on a disk shared avec C:\.

We eliminated le D:\ drive pas realizing that it housed le Active Directory data folder. Nous avons no autre domain controllers et no backups of this Active Directory data.

Is there tout chance of restoring le AD?

If you juste deleted le partition et did pas créez un nouveau partition, it is likely possible to recover.

First things premier - pull le drive, put it in a Linux box et do a raw clone. The premier rule of data recovery is that you do votre work on a clone, pas le original.

Now on le clone run a linux tool called testdisk. If le filesystem n'a pas been obliterated this should re-create le partition table entry et allow it to be accessed again.

If you did créez un nouveau partition, ou si testdisk ne peut pas find le filesystem alors votre chances of successful recovery are much lower. You might want to consider talking to data recovery specialists at this point.
