I need to perform the following actions in Active Directory:

• find if a group exists
• create a group
• delete all members of a group
• add users to a group

This was done by a webservice that was hosted on IIS and had .net framework 4.7.1 runtime.

Now, we are moving to Azure and we plan on creating a Azure Function to host this webservice. However, the code is now in .net core 3.1 and does not support using "System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement". There is a possibility of installing the library from Nuget, although it downgrades Microsoft.NETCore.Platform from 3.1.0 to 2.0.0 (which is something I don't know if it can affect my code in .net core 3.1)

Even if I install this library, from what I understand, this functionality was no longer supported for .net core and has been added just for compatibility. So if this is being deprecated, there should be a better way to do this actions for .net core.

• Do I need to use Azure Active Directory instead?
• Is there a new library that substituted System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement?
• how should I approach this solution?

Thank you very much for your time!
