- [Instructor] You are all familiar
with the default directory
that comes with the Azure Active Directory.
It's your domain .onmicrosoft.com.
But you can also add in your own custom domain name.
And to do so, pop into Azure Active Directory via the portal
under Manage, scroll down to Custom domain names
and you'll notice that our default domain name
is already there and the status is available
and right now it is primary.
I'm gonna go ahead and add in a new custom domain name.
I have already purchased this domain name
through my favorite registrar
and you will need to do the same.
I'm gonna go ahead and select Add Domain.
At this point, we will be provided the information
to add in a TXT or an MX record into our registrar.
Therefore, you're gonna have to
pop into your registrar's website
and enter in this information.
I'm gonna go ahead and click Verify and this will fail
because I haven't entered the information.
Or, if you have entered the information,
it can take up to 72 hours for the information to propagate.
I'm gonna go ahead and close this.
And you'll notice now that our status is Unverified.
When the status becomes verified,
I can easily select this domain as my primary domain.
And that's all there is to setting up a custom domain
in Azure Active Directory.
