    DirSyncStatusChangeNotAllowedException usually means that it's in the process of disabling it, which can take up to 72 hours. If more than that has passed since you run the cmdlet, open a support case.

    Hello @Ashkan Aminzadeh ,

    Could you please confirm what does the status of this cmdlet? Get-MSOLCompanyInformation | select DirectorySynchronizationStatus

    Additionally, as @Vasil Michev mentioned once you have disabled dirsync through this cmdlet it may take 72 hours for deactivation to be completed. The time depends on the number of objects that are in your cloud service subscription account. If you still experiencing same behavior even after waiting 72 hours then you may reach out to MS support on this issue.

    Hope this was helpful.
