Environment NT4 SP6
I recently deleted 100 NT users account from the PDC a few days ago, then all of the certain the accounts reappeared again. All the deleted accounts that reappeared have the "must change password at next logon" checked. Does any one know how this happened? Can third party party software such as bindview repopulate the SAM from cache?
Thanks

Difficult to assume the problem but there must surely some sychronizing problem event generated in your system event viewer.
This can be a sychronizing problem with the bdc as bdc sam is a read only database .

after making the changes, synchronization did not occur, so the new information not replicated is lost. Usually netlogon is able to auto replicate but sometimes it may fail due to various reasons.

You don't find in event viewer any synchronizing problem, but exists events about successfully synchronization? Anyway you must do a manual synchronization from Server manager and verify in event viewer if it done.
