Can not create new users in Azure AD using my custom domain. The domain is not an option when creating the user. on the onmicrosoft.com domain is appearing in the drop down. When checking the properties of the custom domain it says the domain was verified. But for some reason it is appearing as federated. However we are only using Azure AD and DO NOT have an on Prem Active Directory. How can I remove the federated status from the custom domain.

It will no allow me to delete the custom domain and start over because one user does have the custom domain in the username. That user is the Global Admin. Not sure how that one user was able to be created using the custom domain but new users now are not able to be created.

    @SScott · Welcome to QnA platform and thanks for your query.

    You can use below PowerShell cmdlet to convert the domain from federated to manage in Azure AD. This command doesn't make any changes in federated IDP and only changes the federation settings in Azure AD.

    Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -DomainName your_domain.com –Authentication Managed
