AD object that re-appears (“lingers”) on the restored domain controller (DC) in its local copy of Active Directory. When a DC deletes an object it replaces the object with a tombstone object. The tombstone object is a placeholder that represents the deleted object. When replication occurs, the tombstone object is transmitted to the other DCs, which causes them to delete the AD object as well.
