Unused Azure AD Connect accounts "On-Premises Directory Synchronization Service Account"

Playing with #Azure Privileged Identity Management‎ made me aware of two active accounts from old or failed AAD connector installations from way back. And we don't want to leave something with that potential for misusage laying available in our AAD. 

Requesting access with Azure AD Privileged Identity Management from PowerShell

Using Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM for short) as a method to control access to Azure resource are nice security feature. It makes it more trackable and gives the granted roles for a defined time period.  You can add approval as a necessary add-on security feature, use MFA or other adjustments. Read more about PIM here. BUT! it can also feel like a pain in the... if you use it a lot. So I created a small and simple PowerShell script to request the access for me.
