Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your organization maintains a single on-premises Active Directory forest and already uses Microsoft 365. You need to implement identity synchronization so that Windows computers that are hybrid Azure AD joined are written back as device objects to the on-premises directory for discovery by Configuration Manager. Which solution should you deploy?
Deploy Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync agents in the forest and configure password hash synchronization.
Install Microsoft Entra Connect Sync on a Windows Server and enable the Device writeback optional feature.
Configure Seamless Single Sign-On with password hash synchronization and no additional synchronization tool.
Install Microsoft Entra Connect Sync in staging mode with only password hash synchronization enabled.
Device writeback is an optional feature that is available only in Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) Connect Sync. When enabled, the connector writes the cloud device object that is created during hybrid Azure AD join back to the on-premises Active Directory, allowing on-premises management tools such as Configuration Manager to discover the device. Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync does not support any writeback capabilities, and Seamless SSO or password hash synchronization alone cannot create or update objects in Active Directory. Staging-mode servers run import and synchronization cycles but do not perform exports in either direction, so writeback operations are not executed while the server remains in that mode.
