MS 365 and Edge not accepting user password

Hi Steve, thank you for your reply. We do have our own server but I don't know how to check for password sync on it. The new password is one that the MS admin center autogenerated, as it does for all users who need a new password, so I doubt it's on a no-go list.
BMilligan505 check the AD connect health Azure Active Directory Connect Health - Azure Active Directory admin center this will give you information around the health of AD Connect sync if you are using hybrid identities - if resetting the password in the cloud with hybrid identities (ones synced from on prem AD) password writeback needs to be enabled to write the changed password back to AD on prem - if AD connect is not healthy these password syncs may be broken.
Hard to provide more guidance without knowing more of about your environment - which sounds like is information you do not have
- Thanks for this, Steve. I don't believe we have this tool at the moment, my boss had us using Desktop Central but is currently trying to get away from it after a security breach. It sounds like I'll have to wait for his return to resolve this issue. Thank you!
