HOTSPOT -
Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
Your company purchases a Microsoft 365 subscription and establishes a hybrid deployment of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) by using password hash synchronization. Password writeback is disabled in Azure AD Connect.
You create a new user named User10 on-premises and a new user named User20 in Azure AD.
You need to identify where an administrator can reset the password of each new user.
What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:
If a user account is created in the on-premise Active Directory and synchronized to Azure Active Directory, you can reset the password of the user account in the on-premise Active Directory only.
If a user account is created in Azure Active Directory, you can reset the password of the user account in the Azure Active Directory only.

If you reset a password for a synced user in Azure AD, then yes it will reset, but only for a short period of time until Azure AD syncs back the on-premise credentials, so this is not a viable solution. Answers provided are 100% correct without a doubt.

I will stand with given answer BUT, imho, the Admin COULD reset password either using AD (hash sync) or AzAd. Of course, AzAd would be the better way: Yes! But the question says: where you CAN, not which would be the better way to do so.

User 10 - both Password-writeback - When this option is enabled, password change events cause Azure AD Connect to synchronize the updated credentials back to the on-premises AD DS environment. user20 - since this is cloud user, the only option is Azure AD

If writeback is enabled then Azure AD password sync to On-Prem. In this case, it is not enabled

Technically you can change the password in Azure AD and the Local AD, but if you change it in AAD they will no longer be synced??

On the next sync, on-prem changes should replicate to AAD and overwrite it. On-prem is the source of authority.
