Sync Office365 Group members from on prem using Azure AD Connect?

Is it possible to sync Office 365 Group members from an on premise group located in AD using Azure AD Connect?

 

Similar to how you can sync security and distribution groups.

    This is still not possible. However, if you add some automation you can achieve it.

     

    This blog post provides a good approach to maintain AD groups, Azure AD and M365 groups synchronized

    Not sure if this is what you are after but have you checked out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnect-feature-preview#group-writeback (Azure Active Directory Premium required):

     

    "If you use the Office 365 Groups feature, then you can have these groups represented in your on-premises Active Directory. This option is only available if you have Exchange present in your on-premises Active Directory."

        Hi Juan - do you know if you will ever be able to nest Azure AD groups within an 0365 Group? Is it on the roadmap? It seems strange that you can't. Cheers
