Hi @ruchi9

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you want to update cloud and on-premises user's information via PowerShell, and you are curious if there is a command that can update the information of both cloud and on-premises users.

Unfortunately, there is no command to update both cloud and on-premises user's information. Users synced from on-premises Active Directory can only be managed in on-premises Active Directory.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks,

Navya.

Hi ruchi9,

This error message appear when try to update properties for users sync by on-premises in that case the best option is update thes users in onpremise and force sync the values to azure:
