While this release has undergone extensive testing, you may still encounter issues. One of the goals of this public preview release is to find and fix any such issues before moving to General Availability. While support is provided for this public preview release, Microsoft may not always be able to fix all issues you may encounter immediately.

- Group Writeback does not support writeback of nested group members that have a scope of ‘Domain local’ in AD, since Azure AD security groups are written back with scope ‘Universal’. If you have a nested group like this, you'll see an export error in Azure AD Connect with the message “A universal group cannot have a local group as a member.” The resolution is to remove the member with scope ‘Domain local’ from the Azure AD group or update the nested group member scope in AD to ‘Global’ or ‘Universal’ group.
139

- Group Writeback only supports writing back groups to a single Organization Unit (OU). Once the feature is enabled, you cannot change the OU you selected. A workaround is to disable group writeback entirely in Azure AD Connect and then select a different OU when you re-enable the feature.

- Nested cloud groups that are members of writeback enabled groups must also be enabled for writeback to remain nested in AD.
