![]() Who hasn’t made the mistake of deleting a user account in a non-recycle-bin-enabled environment? And who wants to do an authoritative restore or tombstone animation? Why not just re-create the AD object? Oh, they’re sync’d with O365 and have a cloud mailbox as well… Right? Unfortunately in the not-so-perfect world we live in, there are still legacy applications and other roadblocks that keep organizations from making this jump. Hopefully in this day and age, and now that we’ve reached the end of life for Server 2003, you have an Active Directory environment living on at least a 2008r2 functional level with AD Recycling Bin enabled. Why would an IT administrator want to manage two separate accounts with different passwords, attributes, and group membership? Thankfully, Office 365 has DirSync (now Azure AD Connect, but DirSync sounds so much cooler, and I will forever call it that) to integrate the on-prem Active Directory with Office 365, backed by Azure AD. ![]() Office 365 has an excellent method for providing a common identity for cloud and on-premise resources.
