Sync Office 365 users to new on premises AD
Yes, unless they get matched with an on-premises object (based on Primary SMTP address/UPN).
Sync is one-directional only, *from* on-premises AD to Azure AD. You cannot do it in the other direction. The usual workaround is to export/import the objects via PowerShell or use third-party tools that do the same.
Thank you very much VasilMichev
One area of concern: what happens to Office 365 users that I choose not to sync from on premises AD > Office 365 AD?
To be more specific, I dont need all the users of the Office 365 AD to be a part of the on premises AD, so when I got a csv from Office 365 AD, I did not import all the users in the local AD.
What will happen to those users after the first initial sync? WIll they be deleted from Office 365 AD or remain "cloud-only"?
Best regards

Nothing will be deleted.
