hello,

we are a regulated Organization that we cannot sync and users data to cloud.
however we are implementing Intune with HMA "hybrid Modern Authentication" for users in-order to monitor and control devices, the issue is that the data sync is preventing us from completing the setup.
as per the article :
https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/exchange/clients/outlook-for-ios-and-android/use-hybrid-modern-auth?view=exchserver-2019

(""The Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) connection between Exchange Online and the on-premises environment enables synchronization of the users' on-premises data and includes four weeks of email, all calendar data, all contact data, and out-of-office status in your Exchange Online tenant. This data will be removed automatically from Exchange Online after 30 days when the account is deleted in Azure Active Directory."")

my ask, is there a way to disable the sync between the exchange online and the on-premise environment.

    What's the complete error information you received when configuring HMA?

    Where are the mailboxes in your environment located?
    I'm afraid you will not be able to disable or stop the sync if you have mailboxes on-premise in your hybrid environment.
