We have configured an Azure File Share which is synchronised with our onprem file server (ADDS) and integrated with our private dns. My question is now AD integration is in place and NTFS/Share permissions are there, are we able to remove the onprem AD storage account object synchronising to our Entra tenant as part of our cyber best practice?

    Hello Ben, Welcome to MS Q&A

    Yes, after the Active Directory (AD) integration and once the NTFS/Share permissions are properly configured, you can remove the on-premises AD storage account object that is synchronizing to the Microsoft Entra tenant. However, ensure that all necessary permissions and access configurations are in place before doing so to avoid any disruption in access.
