Hello

I have a hybrid environment between Active Directory onpremise and Azure.

Adconnect is installed on an onpremise DC server. This is the only DC I have onpremise.

It turns out that this DC server has degraded and I can't turn it back on.

Now I have in Azure synchronised users from a DC onpremise server that is no longer running and users created directly in Azure.

Taking advantage of the fact that the onpremise DC server that contained AzureConnect will not start anymore, I want to move everything to Azure without having a synchronization with AD onpremise.

What can I do to stop this synchronisation so that it does not affect the synchronised users?

    You can disable synchronization from the service side, no need to perform anything on your DC or local environment. The corresponding steps can be found in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/turn-off-directory-synchronization?view=o365-worldwide
