Does password writeback work when password hash sync not enable?

Hello!

I migrated AD Connect to a new server (2019 from 201R2) and everything looked fine in the Synchronization Service. But I just discovered from the event logs that it is not working.

31034 Relay must be created at this address before using the binding with IsDynamic set to false
And in Azure>Password Rest>On-Premises Intregration: “No agents have been detected. Install a sync agent and set up your sync engine before enabling password writeback.”

Do you have any ideas?

I am having issues with turning on the option in Azure . I have configured the options in the prem AD and then in the cloud agent. It will still not allow me to turn on the two options. I have found this info about the license and we have E1 and E3 for our users.
Hybrid user password change or reset with on-Prem writeback
When a user in Azure AD that’s synchronized from an on-premises directory using Azure AD Connect wants to change or reset their password and also write the new password back to on-prem.” This was from that article you sent and it says that this is available for Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Enterprise E1 and E3 which we have are a step up from Business Premium so it seems that we would also have that functionality.
Write back passwords to your on-premises directory?
Yes
No
Allow users to unlock accounts without resetting their password?

Hi, does anyone know how this works with an initial sync from an On-Prem AD to an existing user base in Azure AD? Ideally id want to sync users, match with existing cloud accounts and have the cloud password become THE user password rather than be overwritten with the On-Prem AD password.

Hi,

I receive error messages with the description “ADAdminActionRequired” in the password reset logs when trying to reset from Azure AD. I have double checked the permissions and they are correct, and have disabled all on-prem password policy GPOs. Is there anything else I can check?

I don’t think it’s a licensing issue. My Azure AD tenant shows Azure AD Premium P1 for its license, and the Licensed Features section lists password writeback as available.

Many thanks
