We had an employee delete a user in active directory and now we can't restore it and when we try to add a new user in the department the new users disappear and reappear just like the one he deleted. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Create a new account, and make sure all data is replicated before making additional changes. Does this new account still exist? If so, can you rename it to the old account name?

Please provide additional information about your network. How many domain controllers and where are they located, sites etc?

This could be that your deleted user is tombstone and when the replication hits the server you are viewing, the replication does what it should and deletes the user.

Follow Mshen’s recommendation and let us know what happens.
