Please, pay attention:
If there are AD users and/or AD groups among the course learners, please, keep in mind that it’s best practice not to delete users from Active Directory completely (when you fire workers, when they leave for another job, etc.). Instead it’s better to create a group for such users and keep such users there.
Why we suggest this flow:
If you delete a user from Active Directory prior to removing this learner (or group where he is member) from SPLMS course, and afterwards create assignments in the course, you will most likely run into issue when tasks won’t be created. This happens because the scheduled ‘SharePointLMS Assignments Timer Job’ runs all your courses and stops on the one with learner in AD missing. The tasks will not create until the deleted from AD learner is removed from the course.

NOTE: |
Once a user AD account is deleted, all permissions and memberships associated with that account are permanently deleted too. If you create a new user account with the same name as previously deleted user, account does not assume the permissions and memberships of the previously deleted account because the security ID (SID) for each account is unique. All permissions and memberships have to be recreated manually to duplicate it. |
