DirSync reports: Unable to restore user from a deleted state because of following error(s): Value 'user@yourdomain.com' for property 'UserPrincipalName' conflicts with another object in the directory.Value ‘user@yourdomain.com’ for property 'ProxyAddress' conflicts with another object in the directory.
Users can sign into https://portal.microsoftonline.com but not able to connect with a desktop client or mobile phone.

In Lync you see a the same user multiple times or you see deleted users

In Office 365 Web Portal Admin Center, there is no option to delete account from deleted users list and have to wait until 30days over to permanently delete those account.

So how? Will you wait to do this?

The answer is NO for me.
