An admin deletes a user account by mistake. After recreating the exact same username, the user still cannot access their previous files. Why?
Answers
AThe new account has a different Security Identifier (SID)
BThe DNS cache needs to be flushed
CThe password is different
DThe group policy needs to update
Correct answer: A — The new account has a different Security Identifier (SID)
Active Directory tracks objects by a unique SID, not the username. Recreating an account creates a new SID.
