Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain / subdomain

Jaime Núñez 2

Can you use subdomains as a managed domain?

Instead of using aaddscontoso.com, could you use aadds.contoso.com as your managed domain?

@Jaime Núñez Thank you for asking.

There must be a reason you would like to make a subdomain a managed domain. Microsoft makes this possible. So Yes!

However, the managed domain prerequisite should be met on the selected system. So far you can find An Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain enabled and configured in your Azure AD tenant. Then, you're good to go.

In addition, try to understand the administrative tasks that you can do and those you can not do on managed domain.

You can read more about Azure: Active Directory Domain Services (Managed Domain) and how to create managed VM

Hope this is helpful!

Success.

hi @Sina Salam
the reason for the subdomain is because the reccommendation is to use a domain name separate from any existing Azure or on-premises DNS name space. Our domain is in use as on-premise DNS name space.

Also, I'm trying to enable ADDS, I don't understand what this means:

"So far you can find An Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain enabled and configured in your Azure AD tenant."

Thanks in advance for your help.
