Hello,

I'm currently setting up Cloud sync for AD to AZ (Microsoft Entra ID). The users have synchronized successfully, I configured SSPS (self service password reset) for all users. When I tested to reset a test user password, it works.

However, when I apply "change password at next logon" from AD, I get the following error message from Microsoft entra ID:

EntrySynchronizationSkip

Result

Skipped

Description

SyncCredentialsChangeItem 'user@domain' will be skipped. OnPremisesChangePasswordOnNextLogOnFeatureNotEnabled

SkipReason

OnPremisesChangePasswordOnNextLogOnFeatureNotEnabled

ReportableIdentifier

User@domain

I have followed every step from this website and researched other websites as well and the issue persists. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/tutorial-enable-cloud-sync-sspr-writeback.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Yea understand! I just was just curious if that command would at least let you see whats set.

    Are you syncing all users?

    If you change the password for the user on-prem and check the option to force password change at the next logon for their account ( both steps), does it then work?

    That is required with AADConnect:
