        It's always two steps. But Office 365 and your AD are two different things. They might be unrelated. They might be synced. They might be Federated via ADFS. Three totally unique scenarios, each would have totally different processes.

          And that is assuming that you do not use Azure AD, which adds still more possibilities.

            So the first question is:

            • Does your AD talk to Office 365?

            And the second question is:

            • If it does, How does your AD talk to Office 365?

              Normally you would make the account in AD before anything else, if you have AD.

                we have AD, i do not know how does AD talk to office 365. The Engineer that configure the AD gets an amnesia or becomes deaf when you ask him about his works. lolz.

                  LOL did you say engineer? Is that an honorary title?

                    ADFS and AD Sync are the two ways that MS provides for it to happen.

                      Your tone suggests that you know that they talk, though? Or are you guessing? Does changing a password locally automatically change it remotely on O365?

                        If you have Azure AD Connect in place, when you log in to o365 it will tell you "Synced with Active Directory" in the Sync column of your User list.
