Synchronize Azure AD users to local AD

Hi IvanBelev
Aside for some very specific situations such as password and certain groups, write back from AzureAD to on Prem AD DS is not possible. In the past we have created a new on prem domain, exported out the relevant data from Azure AD, import it into the local AD then set up AzureAD connect. This would make the on Prem AD the source of authority going forward so changes would need to be done in AD DS and not Office365 going forward.
I've done this for small clients, but not at the scale of a university.
Just adding to HidMov that this is the way to go, but there is no way to export passwords.
So you will have to provide a temporary password for users to use once
