MicrosoftKevin great to hear you are using groups in Outlook. See this article to change the default domain: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Multi-domain-support-for-Office-365-Groups-Admin-help-7cf5655d-e523-4bc3-a93b-3ccebf44a01a?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Thanks for confiming and also for the CMDs and links. Looks like I need to talk to our email team.
