asked on

exchange, active directory, office 365

i have on premise AD and ADFS server.

we have mailboxes in office 365 having E3 licenses.

we dont have any on premise exchange servers.

we had 1 user who went on to soft delete, the user had left sometime back and company decided to hire him back.

generally we have AD policy where after 90 days of user leaving on premise AD account is permanently deleted and user goes into soft delete in office 365.

i saw user isn deleted state in azure AD , so i restored the user, but the user account is in blocked state in office 365

do i need to recreate the account in onpremise AD ?

That's up to you, technically when you recover the account in O365 it should be provisioned as "disconnector" and you can edit all its properties directly in O365. Thus you can simply toggle the "blocked" status directly in O365.

Yes, If your user needs to login to Office 365 via ADFS.
