B.3 Recycle Bin Utility

This utility allows you to enable Recycle Bin support when you are managing a subtree of a domain. If the domain access account does not have permissions on the hidden NetIQRecycleBin container in the specified domain, DRA cannot move deleted accounts to the Recycle Bin.

NOTE:After using this utility to enable the Recycle Bin, perform a full accounts cache refresh to ensure the Administration server applies this change.

You can use this utility to perform the following tasks:

  • Verify that the specified account has read permissions on the NetIQRecycleBin container in the specified domain

  • Delegate read permissions to a specified account

  • Display security settings for the NetIQRecycleBin container

By default, you can run the Recycle Bin Utility from the Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\DRA folder on your Administration server. You can install and run the Recycle Bin Utility on a computer that is not an Administration server. To install this utility, choose custom installation in the setup program. For more information about performing a custom installation, see the Installation Guide.
