Customer has 2K users in onpremise. They use O365 and created the same users with different user names in AAD.
Now they want to sync AAD with onprem AD and retain only the onprem user ids. They want the same O365 licenses to be transferred.

How to solve this ? This is a urgent query and you early response will be appreciated.

    Hi @Somraj Roy

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    I understand that you require "joining" your AD on-premises with your Azure AD, right?

    You should install Azure AD Connect on your server https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/whatis-azure-ad-connect

    Azure AD Connect is an on-premises Microsoft application that's designed to meet and accomplish your hybrid identity goals.

    You can follow these steps https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-express

    Hope this helps,
    Carlos Solís Salazar

    Hi,

    It is possible however you will have to deploy Azure AD Connect server and follow the guidance to do a softmatch with the onprem to Azure AD Account.how-to-connect-syncservice-features
