SharePoint 2016 on-premise - trouble with ADFS : user appears as deleted

    If anyone finds this post and has the same problem, the solution was more "simple" than we thought. The users marked as deleted were in such a state because their OU was not synchronized in the UPSA (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/spjr/2018/04/08/sharepoint-the-complete-guide-to-user-profile-cleanup-part1).
