Hi all,

I have deleted an active directory user account on my domain controller server. Can I recreate this user account with the old SID of this user account ? Because I need to use this user account to log into user's computer profile again to get some data on it.

After deleted user account on AD, I tried to log in the computer without network connection but failed.

Please give me some advice if you have experience handling this problem.

Thank you so much.

Regards,
Tristan

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding , there is no such a way to create active directory domain user account with a specific SID(used to be existed ).
    But if you enabled the AD Recycle Bin, you can restore the user from it simply .

    If you didn't enable the AD Recycle Bin, the user need to be restored through an authoritatively restore which will be more complex .

    Or you can considered log in as a local administrator account or domain administrator to get the data you wanted.

    Best Regards,
