Changing our Tenant Domain name

We have a newly added Office 365 tenant, and we chose a domain name as follow:-

 

 

We added users to the tenant + 15 SharePoint sites + 10 Yammer communities. but we need to change our Office 365 tenant's domain name, so is this possible? or we will need to create a new tenant with the new name and then migrate the users, SharePoint & yammer communities?

  • HI
    Once you create tenant with the name you can't, resp. there is no option to change it. Technicaly you are creating Azure Active Directory. It's really important choose right name before creating tenant name.
    Your sharepoint sites will be created and available under name: @name.sharepoint.com, OneDrive @name-my.sharepoint.com etc..

    Adding A domain means your users will be able to login with friendly name. e.g. firstname.lastname@contoso.com

    Answer is: if you want new tenant name, you need to create it and move/migrate data, users etc.

      martinkameniaryou are correct, so creating a new tenant and migrating over everything from one tenant to another is the solution john john and sorry for the late reply but Martin got to be backup...
