O365 Group Writeback (AADConnect)
We just enabled O365 Group Writeback via AADConnect to bring out O365 Groups back on prem. They are created as Distribution Lists.
Are we able to change those to Security Groups so that they can leveraged elsewhere as security objects? Will they get overwritten as DL's again on the next sync? Or are they only limited to being DLs?

- bump for any comment?
AFAIK, AADConnect creates DGs and not SGs. You don't get to vote.
Unless you follow the steps in http://robsgroupsblog.com/blog/how-to-write-back-an-office-group-in-azure-active-directory-to-a-mail-enabled-security-group-in-an-on-premises-active-directory, in the understanding that these steps are unsupported. But it might work for you.
Hi Tony
This link doesn't work anymore, please help. I got this link from Office 365 for IT Pro
