Hi Carlos,

Appreciate your response! One more important thing wanted to get discussed and if you can help that would be greatly appreciated.

As It is not possible to move Entra Domain Services between subscriptions. So, I correct me if I am wrong, then the only thing left is to get deleted and re-created new one?

If Yes, so getting the Entra Domain Services deleted for current tenant. Will that going to delete everything? (Including the Users,Groups, Managed Identity and Registered Enterprise Applications?

Thank you for your time and help!

Kind Regards,

Majid.

Hi,

Yes, Carlos was very helpful and based on the documentations shared by him. I got to know most of the settings. But now my concern is to have a new Entra Domain Services registered for the same Domain. I need to first get the current running one deleted and then under the new subscriptions/region I have to re-create a new one.

So, my major concern is when I am getting the current Domain Services Deleted, will that going to be deleting all my Resources(Means : Users/Groups/Identity Management) everything?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Majid.

Hi @Majid Khan

To answer your question, Deleting the managed domain doesn't delete or have any other impact on the Microsoft Entra tenant.
For more information Delete a Microsoft Entra Domain Services managed domain

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Hi,

Never mind, I fixed the URL and it worked. Thanks.

Majid.

Answer 3

Hi,

Also after fixing the URL, I found that its clearly mentioned that :--

Deletion is permanent and can't be reversed. When you delete a managed domain, the following steps occur:

Domain controllers for the managed domain are deprovisioned and removed from the virtual network.
Data on the managed domain is deleted permanently. This data includes custom OUs, GPOs, custom DNS records, service principals, GMSAs, etc. that you created.
Machines joined to the managed domain lose their trust relationship with the domain and need to be unjoined from the domain.
You can't sign in to these machines using corporate AD credentials. Instead, you must use the local administrator credentials for the machine.

Thanks

Majid.
