Azure AD Connect.

[EdPUPR]

Greetings.

We have a hybrid environment working fine.

Aside from having to assign Microsoft 365 licenses to users synced from our on premise environment manually.

I know I can assign a license using PowerShell and also know it can be done through Groups in Azure.

But, someone told me we should create and provision the account with all it needs in Azure or our O365 tenant and be done with it.

As far as I know, Azure AD Connect works one way from on premise to Azure/O365 and the only thing we can write back is the password hash.

It's been a while since we have our tenant running so I'm asking just in case I missed something.

Thanks for your time.

You're not missing anything, if you are using AAD Connect you should be creating the users On-Prem, and handle the license via PowerShell or the group licensing feature. Well, you can also do it manually via the admin portal :)
