Apr 22, 2016 4:25 PM in response to djheronby cdhw,In my experience, the home directory of a user (network or local) deleted in Server.app stays around until it is manually deleted.
What, exactly, do you mean by 'a disabled user'?

Apr 22, 2016 8:19 PM in response to cdhwby djheron,In the Users section of the Server app you can disable a user - it is typically how I handle contractors that are in-between gigs or employees that may return. I just wasn't aware if Server.app deleted user data after a user was disabled for a certain period of time.

Apr 23, 2016 2:04 AM in response to djheronby cdhw,I can't find the word 'disable' anywhere in the Server.app 5.1 (English) but I doubt it matters for the purposes of the answer, which I think is 'no'. The only times I ever recall deleting a user affecting their files was in a non-server version of OS X when you got a dialog asking to whom you wanted to transfer ownership.
The fact you are worrying about this possibility suggests you should review your backup and archiving arrangements. What I can guarantee is that one day your hard drive will fail...
