 * Hey, I have a user that needed to change user name and email so they created 
   a new AD account for him. This led to a problem with his wordpress user (the 
   email was changed but not the username) I thought the easiest way would be to
   just delete the user from wordpress and have this plugin create a new one automatically
   when I synced again. But the user doesn’t get created and is not mentioned anywhere
   in the sync log, any idea what could be wrong? Other new users that are created
   in AD are automatically created without problems when I sync.
 * Cheers!

 * Please check if the user_meta-table already contains entries for the GUID of 
   the given user and delete the linked user.
    But this seems more than an AD issue.
   Did you not just rename the user but also change his security groups and/or moved
   him to another OU?
