Existing Azure AD Connect / existing AD on premises: sync

active-directoryazure-active-directory

We're trying to link an existing on premises AD with an existing Office 365 (only mail).

We installed Azure AD Connect and went through the steps, we'd like our local AD passwords to be synced with Office 365 / Azure AD.

We set up filtering based on a group, in which we have one test user.

Questions:

  • does syncing only delete users on Azure AD if the user has been deleted from the local AD?

  • most importantly: our existing users on O365 which are not yet part of he filter (group) we use to configure the sync: they will NOT be deleted? (I'm assuming this but would like confirmation).

Thanks!

All existing user in O365 will stay, they wont be deleted.
