I have seen a ton of posts about initial setups of Office365 or new local AD setups but I am looking for a way to sync passwords ongoing so that when a user changes their desktop password I want their Office 365 passwords to change.

Are you using Azure AD Connect?

If you have set up the AAD Connect tool correctly, it will do this automatically. However, you need to ensure that the OU the user is in also is being sync’d. You can do this by going into the AAD Connect tool, clicking “Connectors” up top, then opening the properties for your domain, clicking on “Configure Directory Partitions” and then clicking “Containers” near the bottom right.

Check pre-reqs first. Sever 2008 and below = no-go. 2008 R2 and up = good-to-go.

Edit: What I meant is 2008 and below no password syncing. Accounts will sync with 2008 and up.

If your syncing from AD to Azure AD, then heck yes. Makes it a fairly painless setup for account/password syncing.

So what would azure AD cost me? I just need my Office365 to sync with my local AD.

Free, free, freeeee!

azure AD cannot be free… nothing is free.

I’ve been using for years. It’s even hassle free.

It’s not Azure AD per se, it’s Azure AD Connect which is a free tool.
