Active Directory becomes very complex to manage in Windows networks. Administrators leave, users are given elevated privileges, applications require special accounts - very soon you have an Active Directory full of security weaknesses. 

Human error and hardware or software failures can easily corrupt Active Directory. AD objects can often be modified or deleted by mistake and faulty scripts can overwrite attributes. The result is unplanned system downtime and lost user productivity. 

Windows Server 2008 R2 offers a number of exciting new features, including an expanded Server Core offering, new Active Directory features, and - of special interest to anyone who has ever wished Active Directory had an “undo” button - a sort of recycle bin for Active Directory objects.
