Question: How does Active Directory handle tombstone objects?

Answer: Tombstone objects are deleted objects that are retained in Active Directory for a specific period before being permanently removed. This period is known as the tombstone lifetime. Tombstone objects help ensure proper replication of deletions across all domain controllers.

Example:

When an object is deleted, it becomes a tombstone, and all domain controllers eventually replicate the deletion to maintain consistency.
