Compare AdRestore vs. Cerberus FTP Server

Windows Server 2003 provides a feature for restoring deleted objects, known as "tombstoned" items, through a command-line utility that lists these objects within a domain and allows for their restoration. The utility's source code is derived from examples found in the Microsoft Platform SDK. Additionally, ADInsight serves as a real-time monitoring tool based on LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) specifically designed for diagnosing issues with Active Directory client applications. By utilizing in-depth tracing of the interactions between Active Directory clients and servers, it helps resolve various issues related to Windows authentication, Exchange, DNS, and more. Unlike conventional network monitoring tools, ADInsight employs DLL injection methods to capture and analyze all client-side API calls made to the Wldap32.dll library, which underpins Active Directory APIs like LDAP and ADSI, including those that do not lead to server communication. This capability allows administrators to gain a comprehensive view of client-side operations and troubleshoot effectively. Through its detailed insights, ADInsight enhances the overall management and resolution of Active Directory-related challenges.
