Good day,
We are experiencing an issue where we get a failure on every sync. The error details are :
Description: The object failed Synchronization. For more info, see the error details.
Error Details:
Property:
Error type - Deleting cloud only Object not allowed
Attribute:
User principal name - (blank)
Object GUID - (String)
Sync Status - On premises AD only.
Details: (blank)
The Object GUID, which is the only real info I can see to troubleshoot, is different for every sync failure, and cant be found when searching for it. I have checked AD and azure AD via powershell, and the Object GUID cant be found.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas where I can look next?
Thanks,
Kyle

Hi, was this object moved to an unsynced OU?
When did this start?

Good day,
I did move one user to an un-synced group, and restored it as an online only user on O365. So that could well be the issue.
I will go through the link.
Thank you.
