Add a domain but not email

You can add a domain to Office 365 without changing all the DNS records...just change the records required for services your customer is going to use such Skype For Business or Microsoft Teams
This won't necessarily work - if the user license you assign has an exchange product, mail from other Exchange online tenants will be delivered to your Office 365 tenant, not according to MX records.
I'm not certain all of the specific cases that cause this, but it seems anything using the protection.outlook.com domain will be routed this way - you need to be aware you may not necessarily receive all your emails.Thank you Juan Carlos for the quick response!
I left the exchange part off the connection and it worked perfectly :)
- My pleasure!!! By the way, be careful with this kind of setups and when adding licenses to the users, don't add then the Exchange Online license to avoid problems with the e-mail setup...is it customer aware that in case of no using Exchange Online, features such as Teams are not going to fully work?
