It will not delete any objects. However, it might "match" existing users objects with On-Prem ones as detailed here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2641663/use-smtp-matching-to-match-on-premises-user-accounts-to-office-365
Will Active Directory Connect Delete Cloud Accounts?
Hello,
My company is creating a virtual environment within the Azure cloud with two VMs running Active Directory. These are brand new VMs with no Users or Groups, or Computers created (other than the admin account).
We have been using Azure AD to authenticate user's access to applications and email so we already have a good number of users created.
My question is this:
Will the existing user accounts within Azure AD be disrupted when we use Active Directory Connect to synch these two environments? I'm concerned that the blank domain controllers will wipe our existing Azure AD profiles.
Any insight into this concern would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan

Can anyone else weigh in on this concern? I simply want to be certain before moving forward. I don't want to disrupt a production environment.
