Situation

What registry key shows if the Recycle bin is enabled or not for a managed domain?

How do I know if the Recycle Bin is enabled or not for a specific domain by looking in the registry?

Resolution

When a domain is specified to be managed, the Recycle Bin is enabled by default.  In this state, no registry key exists that shows that the Recycle Bin is enabled.  However, if the Recycle Bin is ever disabled (and later enabled again), DRA will create a new registry key located at:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mission Critical Software\OnePoint\Administration\Data\Modules\Accounts\Domains.Dns\<domainname>

Where <domainname> is the name of the managed domain.  In this key there will be two DWORD values:

RecycleBinIsOn
UndeleteIsEnabled

If the Recycle Bin is disabled, both of these data values will be set to zero: 0x00000000 (0).  If the Recycle Bin is enabled again, both of these data values will be set to one: 0x00000001 (1).
