Sharepoint 2013 User Profile Service, will delete a user profile from SP cause deletion on AD?

Question

I setup a User Profile Service using SharePoint Profile Synchronization Option. And have imported few hundred of AD users to the SharePoint.

Since there are some service account imported to SharePoint so I deleted it on the SharePoint User Profile page. Now I worry, will it also delete the account in AD?

Answer 1

Deleting User Profiles in SharePoint won't delete account in the active directory. You can verify that by opening "Active Directory Users and Computers" on your local PC and search for that service account you deleted the User Profile for.
