EmpowerID allows you to manage the computer objects in your connected directories. This topic demonstrates how to restore deleted computer accounts.

Info

The EmpowerID workflow used to restored deleted computer accounts is the RestoreDeletedComputerBulk workflow. To run the workflow, users need to have the Initiator Access Level for it.

Restore deleted computers

  1. On the navbar, expand Privileged Access and select Computers.
  2. Click the Restore Deleted Computers action link.



  3. From the Deleted Computers lookup that appears, search for the deleted computer you want to restore and then tick the check box on the computer record to select it.



  4. Repeat step 4 for any other deleted computers you want to restore.

  5. When finished selecting deleted computers, click Submit.


  6. Click Yes to confirm you want to restore the deleted computer(s).
  7. Click OK to close the Operation Execution Summary.

To verify the restored computer

  1. On a server with the Active Directory PowerShell Module, run the below PowerShell cmdlet. Replace <YourRestoredComputerName> with the name of the computer you restored.

    Code Block
    languagepowershell
    $Name = "<YourRestoredComputerName>"
Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -eq $Name} -Properties whenChanged


  2. You should see a record for the restored computer. The whenChanged property should match the timestamp in EmpowerID.


Tip

You can view the timestamp for when EmpowerID restored the deleted computer in Change Manager. To do so, expand System Logs, click Audit Log and then search for Restore to <YourRestoredComputerName>.
