Merge local wie Azure AD users, if both are in use and have name differences
Hi, I'm new here and am currently dealing with Azure in our company. We have had MS 365 with Office licenses for a few years and use them actively, locally we have a small server including a domain....
@Kidd: Yes, if its needed.
@ eliekarkafy: So i dont have to change my usernames, i only have to give my local useres the O365 Mailadress in their mail-adresse field?
Does this work without changing my local usernames, or is this still needed?
And if i do this, now O365 things like Mails are lost?
Sebastian_Wenning no need to change the upn of your users , you just need to match the smtp in your proxy address attributes for your local users with the smtp in your o365 users and when you run the sync the users in the cloud will appear synced instead of cloud only
- okay, i will give it a try.
So its no problem that the upn and the usernames dont fully match?
Because our local usernames are longer (Local: jsmith@ 365: js@).
And what username do i use aufter the merge?- Usernames needs to be matched for sure but upn no
eliekarkafyokay, adding the mailadress to the user and changing the username is needed, but changing the the upn isn´t needed, but ok, if i do so.
