New To Azure Sync

Hi Guys

How do I pull existing Azure Users in to local AD? The Sync tool isn't doing this automatically and I don't see how to configure this.

The Azure AD Connect tool only syncs on-premise users to the cloud, so from local AD DS to Azure AD. It does not sync users from the cloud back to on-premise.

Yes, Roderick is correct. User writeback is not supported. You need to create the users first in the local Active Directory and then synchronize them to Azure.

That is a real shame as all the users are already in Azure, maybe there are third party tools that can write back?
