See Set-MsolUserPrincipalName for more information. Otherwise, it's possible for a handful of users to be missed in the UI, and then when you go to remove the domain, you won't be able to and you won't know why. If you have hundreds or thousands of users, use PowerShell to query for all users and then move them to another domain. If there are many references that use the domain it can take several hours (a day) for the domain to be removed. It can take as little as 5 minutes for Microsoft 365 to remove a domain if it's not referenced in a lot of places such as security groups, distribution lists, users, and Microsoft 365 groups.

How long does it take for a domain to be removed? To change your NS records, see Change nameservers to set up Microsoft 365 with any domain registrar. If you didn't switch NS records when you set up your domain, when you change the MX record, your mail starts going to the new address right away. If you switched your nameserver (NS) records to Microsoft 365 when you set up your domain, you must set up or update your MX record and other DNS records at the DNS host you plan to use, and then change your NS record to that DNS host. Update your domain MX and other DNS records (if you're using a custom domain) On the day you change the MX record, make sure to save your data and uninstall Office if needed. Also, if your users want to move their existing Microsoft email to the new provider, they must take extra steps. If your nameserver (NS) records are pointing to Microsoft 365 nameservers, changes to your MX record don't take effect until you change your NS records to point to your new DNS host (see Step 2).īefore you update the MX record, let your users know the date you plan to switch their email, and the new email provider you plan to use. (An MX record determines where email for your domain is sent.)

Email sent to your domain stops coming to your Microsoft address and goes to your new email provider instead. Before you remove your domain, be sure to update the DNS records, such as your domain MX record, at your DNS host.įor example, change the MX record at your DNS host.
