Transfering domain.com to domain.onmicrosoft.com account
There is no need to "disconnect" a domain from your current registrar in order to add the TXT verification record, or any O365 record for that matter. This is the article you should be following: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoft-365/admin/get-help-with-domains/create-dns-records-at-any-dns-hosting-provider?view=o365-worldwide#add-a-txt-or-mx-record-for-verification
Thanks for the reply! I understand what you're getting at.
Unfortunately, the person hosting our DNS / website / email right now is unresponsive, knowing that we will not be using his services in the near future. So we have no access to his DNS server right now.
Thus we need to "disconnect" because we need to switch to a new DNS / web / email service provider to change the TXT record. We're totally disconnecting from our current host to a new one. 🙂
Once I go through the steps, will my new mailto:mokiee@mydomain.com be connected to my current mailto:mokiee@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com system? Will my current users on mailto:mokiee@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com be ported / combined or otherwise have access to the mokiee@mydomain.com system?
It would be a problem if it doesn't since we already pay for the licences on the mailto:mokiee@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com domain and the two systems don't connect.
Currently, without verifying my domain with the TXT, my two domains seem like we are two separate organizations. I understand that it could and probably would combine, but I need to be sure that it does.
