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).
Typically you will see this when you have duplicated imported objects. Can you describe how you've configured AD FS & SharePoint as well as the UPSA import process?
Thanks for your message!
I think I have to check a few things with our system administrators to fully answer the question. However, from what I know and from what I can see, the “synchronization connection” in the UPSA is set as an “Active Directory Import”. The “authentication provider type” is marked as “Trusted Claims Provider Authentication” and the provider instance as “ADFS Provider for SharePoint”.
We have an incremental synchronization that runs every day. We do not have particular policies or audiences. We did not change a lot of settings in this service. However, users have a “My Site”.
For our Intranet we have two WeApplications, one for the main part and another for the “My Sites” part. Both use the same authentication providers settings. Because we use ADFS, we set the sign in page URL as “/trust/default.aspx”.
