Azure AD Connect: Filtering out local AD users not working
Hello, we have users in local AD that could be absent for a while and we have to disable their local AD accouns for compliance reasons. Now, due to an active Azure AD sync this will also dele...
Deleted
The regular AD Connect flow is as follows:
- Disable account in AD
- Account gets disabled in AAD, like below:
If it's disabled, the Onedrive will still exist
Only if you delete the account, will the account be deleted in AzureAD.
If the account is deleted in AAD, when you disable the account in local AD. There must be some misconfiguration because that is done by design.
Thijs Lecomte Well, no. We simply disable the AD account. And with this sync rule I was hoping that the deletion would not be replicated to AAD removing the account there since this will trigger the deletion of the user's OneDrive which is what we want to avoid when we know that the user will return after a couple of months.
Btw, the deletion of account starts deleting OneDrive after retention period is over, which you can also extend up to 10 years.
