Convert AD Synced Users to Office 365 Users
Hello. We have AD Synced to Microsoft 365.
When covid hit, we had to abandon AD and start creating users in the cloud. Eventually, the server gave up and AD Sync stopped.
It's been a couple of years since then. Some of the users are still AD synced and we cannot edit their details simply because of the AD Sync status. With no server to disable AD Sync, what's the next best way to stop AD Sync and convert all old users to pure cloud users?
- the below script is from MS online . you need to install the MSonline modull on your PC connect to MS online and try to clear the immutable ID using the below script
Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName "email address removed for privacy reasons" | Set-MsolUser -ImmutableId "$null"
Sign into the AAD Connect Server and Sync the Delta
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle Delta
Turn off AAD Connect Sync
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false
Convert Single User to Cloud Only (you can convert all the users that need to be cloud only)
Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName email address removed for privacy reasons | Set-MsolUser -ImmutableId "$null"
Remove Immutable ID of all the bulks users need to be cloud
$Filepath = $env:userprofile\desktop\file.csv$csv = Import-Csv -Path $filepath$immutableID=$nullForeach($user in $csv){Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -ImmutableID $immutableID}move user(s) to an OU that isn’t synchronized using AADC.
Turn on Azure Active Directory Connect Sync
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $true
Enable Force Sync if the Sync didn’t work
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial

- Hello eliekarkafy,
We do not have the AAD Connect server anymore.
That's the challenge. I see solutions in this forum with similar suggestions, but the lack of a server to execute the commands is the issue.- did you try to clear the immutable ID from the users? than delete it and restore it back ?
