how to sever connection between 365 & AD
so we are trying to tidy up our AD (on prem) which is currently fully synched to our 365 cloud. I want a user gone, but we want to keep their mailbox as a shared one, so I deleted their AD account, ...
hi, i couldn't see a simple way of disabling dir sync, unless i go in there untick the relevant boxes, resync, retick, resync - is that correct?
if i do that would it leave the 365 account there and what would happen when i turn dir sync back, what's to stop it from resyncing it self?
Sorry, I wasn't descriptive enough above. Once you disable dirsync, you can update the ImmutableID property of the user in M365, so it no longer "matches" against any on-premises object. You can actually do the same in the "workaround" scenario, if you are not bothered by the "unsupported" part of it.
- ok, i have removed the immutableid from the object and will see what happens with that, thx
