9h7gy (9h7gy) asked a question.

Remove AD imported Users or Groups when deleted/moved in AD

good day all, i introduce myself: i'm an old sysadmin but new to Okta. I'm not actually expert in "cloudy things" but i hope to get better soon 🙂

 

We have deployed a POC of Okta, transformed into a permanent tenant after buying the licenses. We have configured the integration and imported a few users in Okta, to perform the POC.

Now we have to onboard all the users and I'm trying to better understand how the process work, in order to avoid to create a "caos" in Okta. My questions:

 

Groups: i have noticed that if a create a group in an OU which is configured to be synced, the group appears in Okta. If i rename the group, it is renamed in Okta too.

But if i delete the group from AD, or move it to an OU NON synced with Okta, the group remain active in Okta. And i don't know how to delete it, even manually.

 

Users: i noticed that disabled users in the OU synced with Okta are not imported in Okta (which is good). For users too, if I move a user away from the OU synced with Okta, it remans active in Okta, and i don't know how to remove it.....

 

Thanks in advance

    run the full/incremental import , when you make any changes in AD (or) i am sure , you might have set-up sync job to run for every 1 / 2 / 3 hours to capture changes from AD.

      i have the import scheduled every 1 hour. I always forced the Incremental Import, but now I tried the Full, and the old users have been removed, finally. 😀

      thank you for your help
