How to add a user in a different group of the Active Directory with Azure AD Connect

Question

I have two servers with active directory working with different domains, I made the trust relationship of the two by forest transited two-way, both domains communicate. I have Azure AD connect to sync users and groups. I managed to add a user from domain A to a distribution-type group from domain B, but I need this to replicate to the cloud and it's not happening. I want to know if it is necessary to check some attribute option in the service synchronization program

Hi LucasCruz-6215,

You can use Azure AD Connect to sync local Distribution Groups. Please follow these steps:

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers. On the top menu click on view and select Advanced Features.
2. Find the Distribution List that is not syncing to your Office 365 tenant > right click the Distribution List > select Properties > click on the attribute editor tab.
3. There are a couple attributes that must be filled out in order for it to Synchronize to Office 365.
   Attributes: mail, displayName – if they do not have any data, fill it in. Once completed click ok.
4. Open Azure AD Connect, select Customize synchronization options to sync the Organization Unit again.
