Convert On-Prem AD Users from Office 365/Azure AD to In-Cloud accounts
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 advi...
You could terminate the account in Active Directory (which would terminate the account in AAD/O365) after forcing a delta sync, then login to O365 admin center and "reactivate" / "undelete" the account and assign it a license (if it doesnt remember the license it had).
There may be other routes, but I know that should accomplish what you need.

- Thanks Brent, I will try this out.
PaulHi
I have tried removing the user and re-adding however, this prompts me for a new password. Is there a way to move the user account from On-Prem AD to Azure AD?
Currently the users i want are using AD Connect, however most of the users do not need full AD accounts just email which is in Office 365. So we want to remove them from the local network only but keep in Azure AD.
Any ideas?

Brent is correct if you only need to convert a few accounts. When you recover the deleted user, it will ask you to set a new password since it is now "In Cloud" and not managed by your local AD sync.
It should also reconnect to the previously associated mailbox. You will have to provide the new temp password to your user and have them change at first logon.If you need to convert all to cloud, then the disabling of AAD Sync is the way to go.
