Migrating On Prem AD to Azure AD and doing away completely with On Prem AD
One of my customers is presently using Azure AD and they are syncing with their On Prem AD using Azure AD Connect. The authentication being used is PHS. Now, they would like to get rid of their On Pr...
Why are you looking into setting up an Azure IaaS DC?
I know the migration will be much smoother from an on-prem DC, but I would really recommend going with AAD. Creating users in AAD and joining computers to AAD.
The question still remains what is the best way to migrate from On-Prem to ADD. I inherited an account with some uses in ADD and some in On-Prem AD. They all have email accounts O365, so they have an ADD account but manages On-Prem. I'm trying to get them all managed in ADD but haven't figured out how. For now it looks like backup the email and Onedrive data. Delete the account in both places. Then recreated the account in ADD and restore email and data.
Is there a better way?
