This topic explains how to use the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell to modify the tombstone lifetime for a domain in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Example
The following example demonstrates how to modify the tombstone lifetime for the Fabrikam.com domain:
Set-ADObject -Identity "CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM" -Partition "CN=Configuration,DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM" -Replace @{tombstoneLifetime='210'}
