I've changed a group in my on-prem AD from a distribution group to a security group but that change didn't come over from Azure AD Connect. Is there a way to force this change to occur with a synced group?

@AdamsGary-9667 Thanks for reaching out.
I just tested this in my lab and found this change from distribution group to security group should changed in next cycle.
Before :

After :

The only thing that you need to make sure is that the Group has a display name and mail attribute Set.
And you can always initiate a delta sync using this command : Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

How did you Change Azure AD group from distribution to security group?
According to Microsoft document, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-groups-settings-azure-portal
Group type. You can't change the type of group after it's been created. To change the Group type, you must delete the group and create a new one.
Could you share your steps to us, thanks!
Sorry for some reason I didn't get a notification of this answer but I'll give it a go and let you know. I think I'll have to try the delta sync as the normal cycle sync didn't seem to update the groups.
