How to enable Profile information from Office 365 when syncing Onsite Active Directory

Hi John,

Unfortunately there isn't a way around this. Azure AD Connect syncs the following attributes from your AD to Azure AD

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized

With Azure AD Connect your AD, not Office 365 is used to manage identities. Was there any reason you had your local AD synchronised? Do you still have things like local file servers or applications on premise connecting to your local domain? If you want to self manage the user identities and attributes such as job title and department then you would need to remove Azure AD Connect and then, as cloud users (as opposed to synchronised users), you would manage the attributes through Office 365 admin centre or Azure AD.

However, I do want to add a caveat here is that it is largely dependent on your situation - if you still want single sign on between office 365 and your local applications which connect to AD then you would continue as you are and potentially look to self manage changes on the local AD.

Hope that answers your question! If it has, please like and set as the solution. If not, happy to answer any further questions you have on it. Thanks for raising this to the community.

Best, Chris
