How to get the original On-Prem AD account into Azure AD & SharePoint Online?
Hello
We have OnPrem AD where our users accounts are i.e. Domain\ABC123 then, We got Azure AD, ADFS, and O365 where our users now use xxx@domain.com to connect and use SharePoint Online.
However, We now have a requirement in some custom solution in SharePoint Online to get the original On-Prem AD account value - How to do so? I mean, If the logged user is xxx@domain.com, How can I find out what is his original On-Prem AD account value e.g. Domain\xyz987
Is there a way to do so? Or, How can I sync that value into Azure AD or SharePoint Profile?
While the SamAccountName is synced to Azure AD, it's NOT exposed in any of the admin centers or other tools. You can only consume it via the Graph: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e400c1c8-c803-4af1-8a90-0a1ff246f844/samaccountname-attribute-in-azure-ad?forum=WindowsAzureAD
- Can’t see why the samaccount name is needed? The users UPN should be set and be the same in AD as in AAD
Hi Adam,
My On-Prem AD account is actually Domain\MaLa23264 and it work perfectly fine with our internal onPrem systems including our old SharePoint 2013 on-Prem farm.
In SharePoint Online, I use the UPN (Mary.Larson@Domain.com), So, They are not the same.
In specific SharePoint solution we are building, I really need to get the original On-Prem AD account which is Domain\MaLa23264 ... How?
