O365 Group Writeback (AADConnect)
Could you tell me the version of the book (inside front cover) and the chapter/heading where this hyperlink exists? I can't find it in the current book....
This is update 5 published on 4 August 2018. in companion book. page 132
My environment - Exchange 2010 Hybrid with 100 % mailboxes in cloud. Disabled centralized transport, migrating to Exchange 2016 in next 2 months as only SMTP traffic ( application printer, scanner).
Question - I read book and this is great knowledge so thank you for that. My senior leadership wants to use local EXchange 2010 DLs for managing office 365 groups. I have informed that this is not possible as Onrem, EXODS and Azure are different worlds.
Also they want to use office 365 group dynamically, in this situation where my 100 % mailboxes are in cloud , Azure connect writeback feature won't be of any use to me , please do suggest.
Also if i use Azure portal and create dynamic group, users cant leave unless I remove dynamic query.
By any chance, do you think i will be able to use Local DLs ?

TR: You can create dynamic Office 365 Groups and maintain their membership using attributes in Azure AD. Office 365 Groups can only contain cloud mailboxes, so you will be all set. The groups can be written back to the on-premises directory, but without membership.
Also if i use Azure portal and create dynamic group, users cant leave unless I remove dynamic query.
TR: Or you update an attribute of their account.
Thank you so much, my vision is clear now :)
