1. Active Directory is a Flat File Database, and as such does not scale well to distributed locations. On very slow links site replication can take upwards of 4hrs, or fail to complete before next replication which will cause errors.

2. Active Directory fails full LDAP compliance, which limits what open source or 3rd party products can be deployed (as such, costs increase exponentially)

3. Active Directory is OS dependent and cannot be installed on any platform other than Windows server. (This increases licensing costs and reduces reliability).

What is Active Directory Recycle Bin?

Active Directory Recycle Bin is a feature that helps minimize directory service downtime by enhancing your ability to preserve and restore accidentally deleted Active Directory objects without restoring Active Directory data from backups, restarting Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), or rebooting domain controllers. When you enable Active Directory Recycle Bin feature, all link-valued and non-link-valued attributes of the deleted Active Directory objects are preserved and the objects are restored in their entirety to the same consistent logical state that they were in immediately before deletion. For example, restored user accounts automatically regain all group memberships and corresponding access rights that they had immediately before deletion, within and across domains. Active Directory Recycle Bin is functional for both AD DS and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments. Mohannad Hamid
