Hello,

You will either want to export the users via PowerShell or go to https://admin.microsoft.com > Users > Active Users > Export Users:

Then you can either run one by one through the CSV or create a PowerShell script utilizing New-ADUser iteritively through the CSV file with a for each loop.

New-ADUser

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/activedirectory/new-aduser?view=windowsserver2022-ps

Import-Csv

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/import-csv?view=powershell-7.3

Side Note: You cannot use Azure AD Connect to sync from Office 365 Cloud to on-prem (as it is only on-prem to Cloud).
