First question is if you still need local AD. With vpns and AD services on AAD, many don't now. If you do, ADFS allows for two way traversal.
Are you currently using ADConnect or the older Dirsync ?

I then thought I should set up the Azure AD connect thing which syncs the local AD accounts up to Azure AD but I discovered does not currently sync accounts back down to the local AD. Kind of an OH CRAP moment when I realised the email accounts I've set up that are now functioning in the cloud quite nicely thank you very much are pretty much useless for authenticating with the local resources. It would have been a nice touch. It was there in the preview (forget the name now, something like UserSyncback?) and hopefully it is coming soon. Anyone else hit this and have a work around? I could change all of the email accounts over to the local accounts that have been synced up to Azure but then I have the issue of having to move/migrate all of the mail between accounts. Not sure how trivial that is, I might be able to migrate from cloud account to local account (the cloud copy) and then remove all of the cloud accounts and switch the email address over. Other than that small issue, have been happy with it. The users however struggle with change. /me facepalm. Always the users. thanks! Stephen
