asked on Email distribution groups FROM Azure TO on premises AD
We have a 3rd party system that creates email distribution groups in Azure. We would really like these groups in our on premises AD.
We use AAD connect and have enabled Group writeback but it seems:
How can I get the groups to our on premises AD, this will need to run everyday for updated membership etc.
Thanks

The Group writeback feature does not handle security groups or distribution groups.

To be honest you should create them in AD first and use AD Connect (aka DirSync) to sync and create objects in Azure / Office 365.

Creating them in AD first is not an option, the software creates them from our school MIS to azure, there’s no onsite option. We need a way to script the groups back onsite. Or another idea.

Thanks
What you can do is expotr the new groups to a file as part of the job on Azure and run another powershell command to download that file and create the equivalent groups in AD.
