• As for windows users- not sure what you are referring to. Windows users have the same SID and therefore do not become orphaned.

    Consider this scenarios, If employee 'a' leave the job and in future join back. At the time when 'a' left job, the wondows account was just disabled at AD but not permanently deleted. Now when 'a' join back, the new id was created instead of enabling old id. In this case account name is same but SID is different.
