Recreate Deleted Accounts

If you delete an account on a managed endpoint by using a tool other than CA IdentityMinder, the Check Account Synchronization feature reports the account as missing, because it exists in the Provisioning Directory but not on the managed endpoint. When this happens, recreate the account on the endpoint by issuing the Synchronize Account with Account Templates function, which recreates the account using the account templates associated to the account.

If accounts are recreated, CA IdentityMinder logs them as recreated. These accounts can be identified separately from accounts that have been updated because administrators need to be aware that attributes other than capability attributes (for example, passwords) have been set to the original account template values.
