Migrating From AD to Entra ID - How to Successfully Navigate the Cloud Transformation Journey

[@spacedog3k]

Does Microsoft now officially support migration of Hybrid/AD users to Entra-only users? It's fine to move resources and devices to the cloud, but the critical last step or removing AD entirely has not been officially supported.

Our staff tend to have long tenure, so naturally aging out AD accounts is not realistic. I don't know why Microsoft can't support a checkbox that tells Entra to ignore the AD SID and make attributes writeable.

@@spacedog3k Great question - take a look at the video section starting about 22:11m. The ability to switch AD group and user objects to become cloud-editable is in progress as part of the overall work towards enabling customers to become cloud-first.
