How to restore deleted records shown in the audit summary view

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

We are using CRM 2013 on Premise. I was testing mailbox setup with the "Automatically create records in CRM" checked (for a short time).

This had created thousands of contact records in CRM for each contact in my outlook.

While deleting these (5000+) through a system job, I have also deleted some contacts (about 50) I have imported to CRM at one stage and the related records (cases etc).

I can see the deleted cases and other related records in the Audit Summary View.

Can I please know what is the best way to restore these records from the Audit summary view? Is there a  reliable tool like XRMToolBox or CRM snapshot Recycle bin that has been tested with CRM 2013 you can recommend?

Also, can I know why/how did CRM create thousands of contacts for each outlook contact? also they started to appear in the contacts drop down lists only after a some time I tested the mailboxes. 

I checked the duplication rules and there were none published for contacts, - is this the only reason?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,

     did you try the Recycle Bin plugin for XrmToolBox?

    www.xrmtoolbox.com/.../BDK.XrmToolBox.RecycleBin

     It might still be able to connect to 2013. It's probably your best bet anyway since there is nothing out of the box.
