Answer 1

Hello,
Performing an Authoritative Restore of Active Directory Objects: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779573(WS.10).aspx
Exemple: You accidentally deleted an AD user and you want to restore it. You can use an authoritative restore to perform that.
Note that now you can do that by enabling AD recycle Bin and you don't still need a restore operation.
Performing a Nonauthoritative Restore of a Domain Controller: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784922(WS.10).aspx
Example: You had hardware problems on a DC and you solved them after re-installing the DC OS. You can use a non-authoritative restore so that you don't delete recently made changes.
