Please understand my question?
I joined my domain (xxxxxxx.company) to my Azure AD Tenant (xxxing.email) synchronized and everything is correct.
Users are synced from xxxxxx.company to xxxxxxxx.email. So far so good.
I have users in xxxxxxxxxxx.email that I want them to start remote desktop session on a xxxxxxxx.company server
is that possible? are users syncing from xxxxxx.email to xxxxx.company?

    Hi @Esteban Strada Brenta · Welcome to QnA platform and thanks for your query.

    The synchronization of user accounts via Azure AD Connect from on-premises Active Directory domain (xxxxxxx.company) to my Azure AD Tenant (xxxing.email) is unidirectional. As of now, users can only be synced from on-premises AD to Azure AD and not vise versa. Which is why the cloud-only users cannot RDP to the computers joined to on-premises domain. The only scenario where cloud-only users can RDP to a computer is, when it s joined to Azure AD (Connect to remote Azure Active Directory-joined PC).
