Here's an related follow up query... do you know if there's any obvious way to CONTEST an already taken tenancy name?
Got a new O365 customer and there is no possible way the obvious tenancy name could have been taken legitimately (unless they previously signed up for a trial or such like and forgot the details, but they swear that's not the case), and it is already in use.
Any way to get Microsoft to query an existing tenancy to see whether it's actively in use, transfer ownership, send through login details etc.
Basically, the equivalent of domain hijacking resolution.

Great idea. But if the Tenant ist a Exchange Online only Tenant it will not work.
Hi Joerg,
It can also start to do a Trial and see if the Tenant name is active.
