After installing the LSF update to 9016 and installing the MSP5 upgrade, we discovered that a custom attribute was not working in Lawson security.   
Lawson support advises me to restore ADAM from the backup and run the ldifgen command.
I do not have any experience with ADAM and looking at the Microsoft page there are multiple ways to do a restore.
Does anyone know how I should restore ADAM?  Which process I should use.
Thanks

The first question is - is it getting backed up and how often. Depending upon how this is installed it may be on your app server or it may be on another server. If its in the root drive (C) it may be part of a system state backup - and I've seen where some organizations only back those up monthly.

The second question is - is this really ADAM or ADLDS? But basically there is a data store file(s) that will need to be restored (after stopping the services).

There are tools out there that do allow you to sepcifically back this up independantly of the file system - and do allow for selective restores of objects and containers within LDAP.

Need more info to be any more specific.
