Synchronizing Office365 users to Azure AD

I have noticed that when we provision a user in the Office 365 Admin portal, a user is provisioned in Azure AD for our tenant.  When this user is provisioned, only the most basic information is synch...

Thijs Lecomte What I have is,  for instance,  address.  If I create a user with no address, but update it later,  the update is not synchronized to the AAD object.  I have several users that have addresses in o365 Admin that are not populated in AAD.

I just checked and updating the address field from admin center sync to AAD.
These aren't sync'ed users right? They were created in O365 admin?

    Thijs Lecomte These are cloud only accounts created in o365 admin.  Does it sync the reverse, from AAD to 365?

      HelloRuss Burden ! 
      Office365 and Azure AD should always be in sync, if its cloud only users.  However there might be a delay sometimes. 

       

      Try and edit a users street, department or other information and wait to see if it syncs 🙂 
      You could also check the users information in Delve to see if it synced there. 

       

      Kind Regards
      Oliwer Sjöberg

      They should always be in sync (there might a delay of a few minutes though).

      Can you create a test user and test if you create if without address and then update the address that it doesn't sync?
