An organization deploys an Office 365 tenant.
User accounts must be synchronized to Office 365 by using the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool.
You have the following password policies:
• Passwords for the on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) user accounts are
at least six characters long.
• Passwords for Office 365 user accounts are at least eight characters long.
You need to ensure that the user accounts will be synchronized. Which user accounts will be
synchronized?
A.
All user accounts
B.
No user accounts
C.
User accounts with a password length of at least 8 characters
D.
User accounts with a password length of at least 14 characters
I wasn’t sure on this, but sure enough, read the ‘Password Complexity Policy’ section here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn246918.aspx
Correct.
When you enable password sync, the password complexity policies configured in the on-premises Active Directory override any complexity policies that may be defined in the cloud for synchronized users. This means any password that is valid in the customer’s on-premises Active Directory environment can be used for accessing Azure AD services.
True- all users
As synchronization copies users info from local AD to Azure office 365 AD.
6 characters “local” will be accepted within 8 characters”cloud”
Its true that After deploying ADFS tenant password policies are handled by the local Active Directory Environment, and not Office 365 Azure, however. This is not the case in this question! its not ADFS
Also, my understanding that old DirSync doesn’t synchronize passwords from ADDS to Azure AD. only the new Azure Active Directory Sync AADS.
Larry and Curly agreed with Moe too!

A
Definitely A. The moment you “CoExist” (ie AADSync from on-premises AD) O365 password policies fall away and all requirements are stipulated by the local instance.
