Change Tenant Name

Question

Change Tenant Name

Luis Olias 206

Hello,

I am kind of new to Azure and would like to know whether it is possible to change the name of my tenant. This used to be a evaluation one but I turned it into a pay-as-you-go one.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there

I try to understand ... We can buy a new tenant name or just register a new tenant name and then transfer everything?
Are there any thing we have to look at? Problems knew?

Thanks - Nicole Fasel

Hi @Luis Olias · Thank you for reaching out.

Unfortunately, you cannot rename Azure tenant. However, you can create a new tenant with desired name (if the name is available and not already taken by someone else) and then transfer your pay-as-you-go subscription to the new tenant.

For this purpose, you need to add your user account as guest account to the new tenant and assign Global Administrator directory role and perform below steps:

Go to Subscriptions.
Select a subscription.
Select Change directory.

For step by step instructions, please refer to:

But, under Azure Active Directory -> Properties, the Azure Portal offers the option to change the name...? Or is that just the Display Name, and you are referring to the name used for the 'onmicrosoft.com' domain?

So going through this issue as well, we were able to get this changed very easily via REST Powershell commands. I will share my findings below but I am not sure why this method would not be provided by Microsoft themselves?

You can actually do that.

Go to Azure Active Directory -> Properties

Finally!!! The best present for any thanksgiving on 2021.
I was able to do a tenant rename directly thru the portal.
See my PR to the MS Docs.

Please share this long awaited feature.

When you first signed up for Microsoft 365, you created an onmicrosoft.com domain. Even if you later added a custom domain, the original onmicrosoft.com domain is used for all your SharePoint and OneDrive URLs.

If your organization has gone through a rebranding, merger, or acquisition and needs to change the domain in your SharePoint and OneDrive URLs, you can now do this using PowerShell. For example, if your organization name changed from Contoso to Fabrikam, you can now change your SharePoint URLs from contoso.sharepoint.com to fabrikam.sharepoint.com.

Sharepoint URL is not the same as your Azure AD tenant URL.
