We are setting up our prod machines in azure cloud. So we need to copy our Active Directory users from existing prod machine which is on premise. When I searched for options, I got articles related to restoring Server state which will have AD back up as well. But I want to restore only AD users. Can you please tell me if there is any way to do it?
First, you need to export the users from existing on-premises domain controller. You can leverage the Powershell Script below to export AD users to CSV.
Powershell Script to export Active Directory users to CSV
Then, you can import the CSV by using the command below from Active Directory Powershell module. For more details, you can refer to the following article.
Import-CSV C:\Users.csv | New-ADUser
Import Bulk Users to Active Directory
Also, there is a tool which can also be used to import the CSV into Active Directory. You can get it from the link below.

Can anybody help me with this, I'm stuck and reading didn't get me anywhere :(
My question is related to Azure Active Directory Group and SQL DW. I want to give database read access to an Azure Active Directory Group (ADD group). I took these steps for that:
I made two groups in ADD as Azure AnalytcisDW Admin Users and Azure AnalytcisDW Database Users, each with a bunch of users.
Then, I went to Azure Portal, selected my SQL DW and added Azure AnalytcisDW Admin Users group as Active Directory Admin (image below).
Then, I checked in SSMS and saw Azure AnalytcisDW Admin Users group is under mater=>Security=>Users (see image below)
Now I want to give Azure AnalytcisDW Database Users group the (database) read permission (using SSMS or anything). I couldn't figure out how. I read a bunch of stuff for it and couldn't find my way through, such as:
Grant Access to SQL Server Table to AD user
Adding Users to Azure SQL Databases
I was able to do the same by using the below commands where db_users(same as your Azure AnalytcisDW Database Users) is the active directory group and I have used an id from db_admin (same as your Azure AnalytcisDW Admin Users) to connect to Synapse.

I'm working with a third party application and I need to get a copy of the user directory from a clients Azure AD. I've searched the docs/google and had trouble finding a simple automated solution for syncing the user database.
Is there any way I can user LDAP to import a copy of the users to a third party solution, similarly to how it is done with on-premise AD?
"I need to get a copy of the user directory from a client's Azure AD" - if you want to import users from Azure, unfortunately user writeback is not currently supported. You can upvote the feature request below. The feature was removed back in 2015.

I would like to sync GSuite passwords/accounts with onsite Active Directory accounts. I know there is a tool to sync passwords from Active Directory to GSuite, but my organization would like the ability to create/manage users in GSuite and then sync them TO Active Directory or Azure Active Directory. Does anyone know of a tool/platform that allows that type of integration?
There is no ready-made tool to meet your needs currently.
GCDS can sync the AD users to GSuite. But you need a reverse.
We can sync GSuite users to AD by following:
Export the users from GSuite to a csv file.
Use PowerShell to create/update the Users in AD from a csv file.
Configure GCPS to sync AD users' passwords back up to GSuite.
But after you manage the users in GSuite, you need to perform the above steps on a regular basis.
I know this is not a good way. What I want to say is that your needs are still not implemented at this stage.
I am having a ldif file which exported from Active directory. it contains users and group details. I have tried to import directly through jxloper, it throws error. How do I import Active directory ldif file to openldap server?
The LDAP schema of MS Active Directory is very specific and completely different to that installed in OpenLDAP default installations. It's nearly impossible to get AD exports directly imported into OpenLDAP without heavy sanitizing and/or schema tweaking.
Just some examples:
The users in AD have object class User which does not exist in OpenLDAP
The groups in AD have object class Group which does not exist in OpenLDAP
If you want to mimic behaviour of MS AD your best option would be to try Samba4 by following this docs:
Setting up Samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller
I have "Office 365 Enterprise E3" subscription in Azure.
Suppose, I have a many users and i want to delete multiple users(more than 100).
so, how to do this ?
You could use Delete user operation using Azure AD Graph API . If you want to reduce roundtrips to the server , try batch operations on user entities. Here is a code sample shows how to query Azure Active Directory Graph API using Batch processing .
Another choice is using powershell .You can remove bulk users accounts(use csv file to store user accounts) by :
Import-CSV C:\Users.csv | Remove-MsOlUser –Force
Here is an article shows bulk remove Azure Active Directory user using powershell .
