Password Writeback and ADFS
Hi experts
I have the next scenario, where my tenant of Office 365 has federation with ADFS and ADConnect syncronizing my users from Active Directory Onpremise.
Now I need the service of Password Writeback from Azure Active Directory Premium.
How work Password Writeback with a federated (adfs) tenant?? Is it Possible reset the password directly in Active Directory OnPremise with Password Writeback??

As you are using AD FS, you can also reset passwords without password writeback.
AD FS has a feature that allows you to reset passwords - as long as you remember the current password. However, this feature is disabled by default, so you need to enable it using the following PowerShell commands.
# Enable update password from internal network
Enable-AdfsEndpoint -TargetAddressPath "/adfs/portal/updatepassword/"
# Enable update password from external network
Set-AdfsEndpoint -TargetAddressPath "/adfs/portal/updatepassword/" -Proxy $true
# Restart the AD FS service
Restart-Service ADFSSRVNote that you need to restart the service on all AD FS servers in the farm.
Now your users can reset their password by browsing to https://your-adfs-server/adfs/porta/updatepassword
Password writeback works with AD FS, if that's what you are asking. Details can be found in the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-writeback
