I am shifting my company from a local ad to entra. At one point, the sysadmin had connected and synced the local ad with entra to allow the users to share a password between their local device login and their microsoft account(make sense) i am now trying to phase out the local server all together, but am running into an issue where the objects created in the local ad and synced to entra remain and are undeletable. The old sysadmin was using the azure connect tool for the sync. I uninstalled it to break the sync but still cant delete objects and groups?

    Hi,

    It seems the task was done on one side that is OnPrem you also need to do this on the Entra side, check this article and see the process also backup the environment before you make changes as it seems you have uninstalled the AAD Connect and Sync is broken so better to backup servers and DCs so you dont have to rely on System restore.
