AAD sync creating on prem groups
Hi everyone.
We have a strange issue here and I can't work out what's happening. Hopefully some kind clever person can point me in the right direction.....
We currently run Azure AD cloud sync but want to use AAD Connect as we still have our on premise AD and wanted to sync groups back and also give users the ability to change their passwords. We also found that even as GA's, we couldn't log into AVD's until we used AAC Connect... confusing!
Anyway, we temporarily disabled the Cloud Sync, ran the AAD Connect sync, enabled group writeback, but now the groups in AD look like this:
Is there any way we can change this so that the group names are displayed please?
Thanks in advance 🙂
- You can use the option to write back the group distinguished name by using the cloud display name as explained here:

This should change the name which is written back and use the more human readable form 🙂
