Hi,
I'd like to understand how the password write back will work. if I have a Azure hybrid environment and a user changed the windows 10 password, password write back is enabled in the environment. however the Windows 10 device is not connected to the company network " and no VPN" but connected to internet. will the new password be written to AD by Azure?
you need to enable SSPR and also configure the setting in azure AD connect. For detailed step by step instructions, please refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/tutorial-enable-sspr-writeback

If you enabled SSPR in your tenant and user is using the SSPR service, then indeed the password will be written back from a public network. No need to have a VPN or connecting to internal LAN.
