Our domain has a combination of Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers. The Recycle Bin is enabled and the restore is working well when I use the Active Directory Administrative Center from my Windows 8.1 laptop.

However my users with Windows 7 64 Bit using the Administrative Center aren't able to see the Deleted Objects container.

Is there something I need to enable on their version of the RSTAT?  or is there an update that I can apply?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi,

Enabling Active Directory Recycle Bin using Active Directory Administrative Center

To enable the Active Directory Recycle Bin, open the Active Directory Administrative Center and click the name of your forest in the navigation pane. From the Tasks pane, click Enable Recycle Bin.

The Active Directory Administrative Center shows the Enable Recycle Bin Confirmation dialog. This dialog warns you that enabling the recycle bin is irreversible. Click OK to enable the Active Directory Recycle Bin. The Active Directory Administrative Center shows another dialog to remind you that the Active Directory Recycle Bin is not fully functional until all domain controllers replicate the configuration change.

Or 

Enable-ADOptionalFeature

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

You could download Remote Server Administration Tools on widows 7

For windows 8, there is the statement with "You can use RSAT on Windows 8 computers to use the correct version of Active Directory Administrative Center to manage Recycle Bin through a user interface." But I haven't found the information for windows 7.  And if there's any updates,  you could also find on the Download center.
