Sync AAD mail nickname back to AD

Question

Currently in our AD, mailnickname is "not set" for all users as we did not have Exchange Server, but after syncing local AD to AAD, we can't hide mailboxes from GAL and the part that's hindering us is that the NOT SET mail nickname does not match the AAD version.

Is there a way to have AAD send it's setting for accounts back to AD to populate it without having to do it user by user?

Answer 1
