Getting a Microsoft Account with a company domain mail

Question

Hello,

We use Google Workspace as our mail provider with our company's domain. We are using local accounts as Windows accounts for our PCs.

I want to switch to Microsoft Accounts to be used as Windows users, but the system rejects me creating it with our company's domain email accounts.

On the contrary, I have some company emails that I can use as a Microsoft Account.

Can someone tell me why this happens and the best way to use Microsoft accounts to log into Microsoft services with our company's email addresses?

If the question is hard to understand, please let me know, and I will explain it more.

@BAMA IT ,
It sounds like you are trying to create Microsoft accounts using your company's email addresses, but the system is rejecting them. There are a few potential reasons why this might be happening:

• Microsoft may not allow you to use a business email address to create a personal Microsoft account. In this case, you need to use a different email address (such as a personal email address) to create the Microsoft account.
• Your company may have policies that prevent you from using business email addresses to create personal accounts. In this case, you would need to check with your company's IT department or email administrator to see if there is a way to create Microsoft accounts using your company's email addresses.
• There could be a technical issue preventing you from creating the Microsoft accounts. In this case, you may want to try again later or contact Microsoft support for assistance.

If you want to use your company's email addresses to log into Microsoft services, the best way to do this would be to use Azure Active Directory (AAD) to manage the accounts. With AAD, you can create and manage user accounts for your company and use these accounts to log into Microsoft services such as Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and others. This will allow you to use your company's email addresses to log into these services while still maintaining control over the accounts and ensuring that they are only used for business purposes.

You can create an alias, then you'll be able to use that alias for sign in anywhere you can sign in with your microsoft account.
