New to this azure
HI
I work for an MSP and "inherited" a company that uses 365, azure and AD
There seems to be some sync problem between AD and 365
I want to be able to create a user in 365 and have it also be created in AD via azure sync
Is this possible?
We were having a problem with 365 and AD not syncing, but I installed AD Connect and now it sync's every 30 minutes which is great; however, It only sync's certain things. NOT a new user in 365.
thanks

Hi
No it's not possible to do so . The only changes you can have from Azure AD to AD is password and group through password write back and group write back .
Enable Azure Active Directory password writeback | Microsoft Docs
Azure AD Connect: Group writeback | Microsoft Docs
In fact the user write back have been retired in 2015
Azure AD Connect: Features in preview | Microsoft Docs
You can explore some workaround like this but there is no microsoft support : Using AADConnect to merge users originating in AzureAD – JustIDM (wordpress.com)
Another way to get things done is to build a user creation process so all the admins who have rights to create a user should follow .
Create user in AD -----> Sync in AAD Connext --------> Assign a Licence
