introduction

when create new tenant with Microsoft 365  >> it will create new domain xxxx@Onmicorosoft.com 

for example : our domain is Pioneers101.OnMicrosoft.com 

so any user name will have account

UserName@Pioneers101.onmicrosoft.com

 like first user that created called

Bisan@Pioneers101.onmicrosoft.com
this is good  for Training :
BUT 
NOT profissional for business 
you have tow option 
* if you have already own domain >> you can register your own domain in office 365 tenant 
* if you don’t have registered   domain name >> you buy new one 
in networks pioneers we already have exist registered  domain at Godaddy called networkspioneers.com 
>> so we will use this domain rather than using Pioneers101.OnMicrosoft.com 
 
 
Let’s GO 
 

 

Current DNSat GoDaddy

currently we own registered DNS record in godaddy as  well as MX record that point to our Exchange server 

next step is to configure DNS record to point to MS 365

Conclusion

Microsoft 365 creates a domain for you, like Pioneers101.onmicrosoft.com,

when you sign up with the service. The user ID that you create when you sign up includes the domain, like

Bisan@Pioneers101.onmicrosoft.com
 
  it highly recommended to have your own domain rather than (*.onmicrosoft.com)
