Query Regarding Unavailable but Inactive onmicrosoft.com Tenant
Hi,
I recently discovered that a specific onmicrosoft.com tenant is unavailable. However, upon further investigation, it appears that there are no active services associated with this tenant.
From an organizational perspective, this particular tenant name would be extremely beneficial for us. Therefore, I’m curious to know if there’s a way to incorporate this inactive tenant into our current tenant.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
- If you own a domain associated with said tenant, you can try the "takeover" process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/domains-admin-takeover
Otherwise, nothing you can do except wait for the tenant to expire.- Exactly, I need to understand when a tenant expires and when it becomes available for others for re-use. I've noticed a tenant that isn't available for use, and upon checking, there are no active services on it. I'm unsure about the owner of this tenant. Is there a way to utilize this tenant? Or is there a possibility to work with Microsoft to make the tenant name available for use again? Any guidance would be appreciated.
