Deleted Active Directory account

I have accidently delete AD account for a user who is on vacation.
I wonder if I can just recreate his account and he will be able to open up outlook just like he used to, when he gets back.

or there is an easy way to restore?

thanks

You can connect the disconnected mailbox to new ad account.

If you choose to restore the object, you are going to want to make sure that all of its Group Membership is intact as well. When you restore and object the membership typically needs to be re-added.

I have disabled the mailbox and cleaned the database using powershell.
but I do not see the mailbox of the user now.
Under Recipient Configuration you will see "Disconnected Mailboxes". From there, you need to connect to the server that was originally hosting the mailbox. Once you are connected you will see all of the disconnected mailboxes. Right click the mailbox and select "connect". From there you can select an existing user (that does not have a mailbox) and attach the mailbox to this user.

You may have a delay depedning on your AD replication interval.

what if the mailbox is empty then you disable it and run the clean database, would it show up in the disconnected mailboxes?
