Hi guys.

I want to update the properties of a user in Azure AD.
The user is synced from my on-premises AD.

If I do the following command on the PowerShell, can the Azure AD user turn off synchronization while maintaining?

'Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false'

Then, can I update the user's properties?

Please assist.

    When using directory synchronizations, changes should be made in your on-premises AD. If you want to make changes directly in Azure AD, you will need to disable synchronization first, via the Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled cmdlet. It might take some time for this to work, depending on the number of objects being synchronized.
