Rollback the exact change you want

Rollbacks of Active Directory happen because of an undesired change. So why would you use two separate tools to audit and then rollback?

Rollbacks of entire objects can also be accomplished from tombstones and from Lepide’s own backups of Active Directory. Read more...

Real-Time Alerting
Stay informed on your most critical changes

AD State Reporting
