Move user synced from on prem AD to Azure AD Only to Azure only

[Davit2005]

Hi All,

So I've been running an AD environment at home for 15+ years but I'm reducing my setup at home, running a AD domain jus for myself is getting a admin headache which is not really worth it anymore. I have a Premium business azure subscription that I am using for personal email, teams and few other bits and pieces.

 

I've only one user that I need to migrate completely to Azure AD and not sync any more so I can remove my AD from home. For those of you who have done this how did you proceed. I don't want to lose email etc from my user.

 

I never had exchange at home.

 

Cheers

When I have done this I have deleted the user from on prem AD synced to Azure and then recovered the account from deleted users in Azure. This will make it a cloud only account.

Seems a bit of a sledgehammer approach, lol. I have a test account I can use. The other options seem to be to remove AAD connect, lol. Time to make sure the backup of Office 365 is working OK. For now I've taken a test account and moved it out of the OU that I sync to Azure, ran a sync and jus about to see what happens.

 

You'd of thought MS would make this a bit easier,
