Hello team. I'm looking for help to fix the following error, for a few days I haven't been able to access the AD recycle bin to restore deleted objects. I have 2 Domain controllers (Windows server 2016 Standard) in HA. If they require additional information I am attentive. I appreciate you can guide me.

Greetings and thanks

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    It seems is some change make your Recycle Bin can't get the information from the database and showing you, because AD Recycle Bin has been changed after he get the data.

    So here have two possible causes.

    1. Your domain have too much data and it makes your Recycle Bin keep change his collection. It makes he can't show you the information at the page
    2. Your Recycle Bin is broken. In this case, you may need to reinstall the ADAC to see if it can fix you problem by reset your data

    To know if we can fix it, you can try to use the powershell to access the Deleted Objects OU, if it can be accessed, that means it is just page have problem. core code is running well.

    list out all deleted objects and all the attribute data:

    Get-ADObject -filter 'isdeleted -eq $true -and name -ne “Deleted Objects”' -includeDeletedObjects -property *

    restore the object:

    Get-ADObject -Filter 'samaccountname -eq “SaraDavis”' -IncludeDeletedObjects |Restore-ADObject

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,
