Thanks Thijs Lecomte . If I get you right, the steps would be to do a soft match first and use on-prem credentials in step 1. Then migrate the users to the cloud and stop using Azure AD connect? I am trying to be sure that soft matching does not prevent me from passing the source of authority back to Azure AD once my migration is over.

Could you elaborate more on your end goal?
Would you like all users to be in AAD and not in AD anymore?

The covid situation here is quite bad and I got caught with my clinical responsibilities for the last week.
Thijs Lecomte we are hoping to manage all users on AAD once the migration is done. No role for AD after the migration.
- Thijs LecomteJun 08, 2020Bronze ContributorYeah, so you should soft merge first so that on-prem sync to AAD again.
Note: if you have made any changes to the user in AAD (passwords, phone numbers, job descriptions...), these changes will be overwritten
Afterwards you can easily change the source of authority back to AAD.
