Active Directory Azure - Password WriteBack

  • 772

I have a small and maybe silly question in regards to Azure AD, when the password is changed in Azure using for example SSPR, how long does it takes to writeBack the password to AD, considering that the password writeback function is enabled. Is this instant or it has some dependencies ?

Thank you

    From the documentation:

    Zero-delay feedback: Password writeback is a synchronous operation. Your users are notified immediately if their password did not meet the policy or could not be reset or changed for any reason.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-writeback

    So there is no delay. If you want proof, you should be able to see it in the Synchronization Service Manager UI on your Azure AD Connect server.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-service-manager-ui

    Change your password and monitor the sync. Should be instantaneous.
