transfer Domain godaddy to microsoft 365
Ben...thanks for your responses...helped me find a step closer on my issue.
Help me with this one.
1. Domain is with GoDaddy
2. When did the domain, of course made the mistake to do the office365 there too.
3. Web hosting is with a different provider...that email is hosted with too.
4. People log in to email with the hosting provider... with their @ABC.com email account
5. Other services that GoDaddy didn't give use, users login with @abc.onmicrosoft.com account
I KNOW!
So ... how specifically do we deal with this one? Everyone seems to be scratching their heads?
I think what I need to do is:
A. Move the web and email hosting back to go daddy and get rid of the third party involved.
B. Download all files and such from Teams
C. Download all emails
D. Download files from OneDrive
E. Cancel the Office365 from GoDaddy...
F. Sign up for Office365 at MS on the current Azure account (.onmicrosoft.com)
G. Move the domain from GoDaddy to MS and associate into the current (.onmicrosoft.com) account
H. Change the primary domain to ABC.com instead of ABC.onmicrosoft.com [or is this step even needed]
The goal is to get everything into the current .onmicrosoft.com Azure account/tenant, users then could use their ABC.com account to get their email and sign in to all of the applications and services at that point (email, business central, visio, etc). I need to make sure we do not lose email access for more than a day or few hours through this process....
Thoughts??? Anyone???
H. Change the primary domain to ABC.com instead of ABC.onmicrosoft.com [or is this step even needed]
Yes. that step is absolutely needed. It is much easier for single sign-on, password memory, etc to have your work email as your authentication. if that step wasnt really necessary, there would be a lot more email domains abandoned at godaddy's door.
not that we really care how many email domains godaddy ends up sitting on.......
