you have to reboot the server and press F8 and it will bring the ntdutil. in advanced you must perform an system state backup, it will ask you to restart you says no cuz if you does back up it will be in the same state it was before then you type backup subtree with the name of the DC OU and the folder and then it will give you a usn number 100000 that is going to be higher than the others number so it will be good

I have found this nice little FREE utility that will recover deleted files and folders. I have used it on Windows XP and 2000 Pro, I am not sure if it will work on a server, so use caution. The site is http://www.pcinspector.de/

Good luck

P.S. I was able to recover a 1.3 gb file that I had deleted...
