Hi,

Currently all my users are already created in Office 365 with Azure AD.
In Azure AD Connect I've selected only to sync passwords.
UPN Suffix created to match users in the cloud.

Will Azure AD connect also create users / just sync passwords ... when there's a match ?
I created a test user in AD with the correct UPN suffix, selected filtering In Azure AD Connect to
only sync users who are member of a specific group.

What will happen, this user only exist in on premises ad ?
...

Its not clear for me what will happen with the cloud users if they don't exist in the on premises directory

Thank You,

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

When you create a user on premise use email address and when you run Azure AD connect it will sync the users with password. Azure AD Connect will not create users on cloud in addition to synching objects.

1. What will happen, this user only exist in on premises ad ?

When you run a sync, the user will be synched to cloud.

2. Its not clear for me what will happen with the cloud users if they don't exist in the on premises directory.

If you've users only on cloud, it will exist only on cloud and not on prem. Because we do not support bidirectional sync.
