Convert On-Prem AD Users from Office 365/Azure AD to In-Cloud accounts

[Paul Bullock]

Hi

We have currently setup a ADConnect Sync to Office 365, this is working well.

We would like to start converting Sync'ed accounts in Office 365/Azure AD to "In Cloud" accounts. Can you advise or does anyone know how we might approach this? Or can point to alternative resources?

We need to ensure the accounts in Office 365/Azure AD remain active and usable.

Much appreciated

Paul

We used the procedure to 'move AD users to an OU which was not selected for sync in ADSync utility; hence deleting the user and restoring them on AzureAD through the Admin portal.

As each user was migrated, ADSync uitility (as expected) had an error for each user:

This error indicates that a deleted object was recovered from the recycle bin in Azure AD before Azure AD Connect was able to confirm its deletion. Please delete the recovered object in Azure AD to fix this issue.

I imagine this is for each user in AzureAD for which the compliment account was not found in AD.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Prior to restoring the deleted user you have to do one more Delta Run in AAD Connect. The Delta run will import the AAD directory with the user in a deleted state. After that run you can then safely restore the user in AAD.
