Azure AD and Password Writeback to On-premise AD

Hi,

 

Could you please advise me?

I have enabled SSPR / Password Writeback to On-premise AD.

Users are able to reset their password thru passwordreset.microsoftonline.com.

 

When this is enabled, can admins reset users password also from Azure AD / Office 365 and passwords are synced correctly to On-Premise AD?

 

Thanks!

 

Regards, Joonas

    Hi Joonas, here are the supported and unsupported operations for Admins. Basically, Admins can use Azure portal to reset a user password.

     

    Supported Administrator operations

    • Any administrator self-service voluntary change password operation
    • Any administrator self-service force change password operation (for example, password expiration)
    • Any administrator self-service password reset originating from the Password Reset Portal
    • Any administrator-initiated end-user password reset from the Azure classic portal
    • Any administrator-initiated end-user password reset from the Azure portal

    Unsupported Administrator operations

    • Any administrator-initiated end-user password reset from the Office management portal
    • Any administrator-initiated end-user password reset from PowerShell v1, v2, or the Azure AD Graph API
