Re: Mailbox access after domain deletion
sachin_ms The key element to achieving your goal is to gain ownership of the domain. You cannot add the domain to an Office 365 Tenant as the setup process requires that you prove ownership of the domain and to do that you need to be able to modify DNS records of the domain, both require ownership. 1. Have a conversation with the current domain owners and ask that they transfer domain ownership to you. This is essential! If they don't transfer ownership then its game over, full stop. Considering that the current domain owners are going to "delete the domain", there shouldn't be any reluctance by them in transferring domain ownership to you. 2. If they agree to transfer the domain, then setup a hosting account with a provider of your choice, then either add the domain to a current O365 Tenant or use the hosting providers email service via SSL IMAP. There are a few reasons that the current domain owners would be reluctant to transfer the domain. They may be protecting proprietary information, trade secrets, intellectual knowledge and the like all of which may flow to the domain for the foreseeable future. If you purchased full rights to the business then that would include the domain, but I don't know the details of the acquisition agreement. A domain always has value and when purchasing a business that value is typically factored into the purchase price. Again, you will need to obtain domain ownership to achieve your goal. Once that is done the rest of the steps are simple to complete. Good Luck! 🙂3.1KViews0likes0Comments
