# Advantage of putting DC’s on a delayed-replication schedule is that you can query the directory on the delayed DC to find information.
# E.g. the Distinguished Name (DN) which is required to restore the object, about the deleted item. You might need this functionality, for example, if a user account was deleted but nobody knows the user account's Organizational Unit (OU) path location. In a typical restore scenario, you would need to access a restored directory offline (not on the network) so that you could query for the object and gather the DN for use in the authoritative restore process.
# Delayed Replication of the AD environment allows DS to provide a higher degree of confidence that any lost objects, when detected will be recovered more quickly with less manpower.
