Moving emails from one domain to another on the same Tenant
We are changing the name of our company soon, and management has requested that we change our domain to reflect the new name. how can i move all the users with their mailboxes from the old domain to the new one?

Just to be clear, it is not necessary to change the whole tenant in terms of Domain change (e.g. abc.com), I can be managed by DNS hosting (MX record)
- Hey Saif,
Transitioning to a new domain is straightforward with email forwarding tools
For example, you have emails: email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons
In this case you can just start using email address removed for privacy reasons for every new website and get messages forwarded there from email address removed for privacy reasons.
Just set up forwarding for every email in your company, it's easy to do via ProxiedMail (without creating every email manually).
Here is material about it: https://proxiedmail.com/en/migrate-emails-from-domain-to-another
TLDR: Steps to set up forwarding:
1. Just move old domain to ProxiedMail
2. Set up wildcard proxy-email for old domain like *@companyname.com -> *@newcompanyname.com
That's it. Saif_Al_Shahri Hi, see Vasils reply on the same topic here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/admin-center/migrate-mailbox-to-another-domain-same-tenant/m-p/1211532
ChristianBergstrom Hi Christian i read Vasils I am unsure where i would change the Primary SMTP address from which admin portal. Thanks for your support.
Saif_Al_Shahri Hello again, you can do it using PowerShell and the -WindowsEmailAddress parameter.
