Google Deleted Account that Links Managed Play Store
Hi all,
Sorry to hear about the issue with the Intune/Managed Google Play connector. If recovering the deleted Google account isn’t an option, creating a new account for the linkage might be your only choice. Unfortunately, this will likely require re-enrollment of devices, as the link between the old account and the devices is broken.
To lessen the impact, consider the following steps:
1. **Communicate Early:** Notify your Android BYOD users about the situation and the potential need for re-enrollment. Clear instructions can help smooth the process.
2. **Plan for Re-enrollment:** If re-enrollment is necessary, provide a step-by-step guide and support to minimize downtime.
3. **Test First:** Before asking all users to re-enroll, test the process with a small group to identify any issues and refine your instructions.
4. **Backup Data:** Ensure users back up any important data on their devices before re-enrollment to avoid data loss.
5. **Engage with Microsoft Support:** Reach out to Microsoft support for any specific guidance or tools they may offer to help with the transition.
Hopefully, this helps reduce the disruption to your users.

If you read up to the linked help article, it is possible to associate orphaned binds to new Google accounts with the appropriate information and validation. No re-enrolment necessary.
This is great info for customers who have accidentally deleted their bind, though.
