Password changes in M365 Vs Azure
JimWilson2000 If the password is changed in Azure AD, there is no record of this on the on-prem AD side. Records on-prem will not just be synced towards Azure AD, there's usually a delta sync that happens, which means nothing will be overwritten unless the record in on-prem AD is changed. Have you considered using password writeback? This way using Azure AD Connect, password changes in Azure AD will be written back into on-prem AD.

- Unless the settings were changed, the default Azure AD Connect uses would be to do a delta sync every 30 minutes, so this is likely the cause of your problems. How about just telling the helpdesk to actually not change the password there? 😉
