Found another post with same issue here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/467807/windows-essentials-2016-dashboard-stop-password-sy.html?childToView=470386#answer-470386
The Windows Server Essentials Service cannot synchronize the user password to the online identity repository
Hi there.
Recently. I have the below error coming up on multiple 2016 essential servers when doing password changes via the Essentials Dashboards.
I can confirm that passwords are not syncing to 365.
I have tired disabling 365 integration. Then re enabling. Same issue.
Anyone else seen this issue?

It's quite annoying running systems without any issues for years but being kicked in the heels from the vendor again and again... -

sorry for bothering your as you are the one that opened the ticket - is there really no response so far? -
