how to change from federated to managed domain.

Question

my domain is federated for a long time.

I federated my domain by commandlet "Set-MsolDomainAuthentication" which is not applicable anymore.

but now I need to convert back to managed from federated.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/573937/federated-to-managed-authentication

and old commandlet

Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -Authentication Managed -DomainName <domain name>

is not applicable any more?

how to do it?

best regards.

Answer 1

Can someone help to federate the domain to o365 as MSOLService depreciated

Answer 2

You can use the Update-MgDomain cmdlet from the Graph SDK for PowerShell, specifically:

Update-MgDomain -DomainId domain.com -AuthenticationType "Managed"

Of course make sure you are connecting with a user with sufficient permissions first, at minimum holding the Domain Name Administrator role and having the Domain.ReadWrite.All scope granted:

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes Domain.ReadWrite.All

Hello @Global Admin

As I understand you have changed the domain from managed to federated. You want to move the domain back from federated to managed.

You will have to run PowerShell commands to convert domain from federated to managed.

To perform this all you need is access to federation server and global admin account which has ".onmicrosoft.com" suffix.

You can run below commands in PowerShell from the device which is a federation server.

• Open Windows PowerShell as administrator.
• Run command "Install-Module MSOnline"

Connect to Azure AD using below commands.

• Connect-Msolservice (Enter global admin credentials which has ".onmicrosoft.com" suffix.)
• Convert-MsolDomainToStandard -DomainName <DomainName> (You will have to run this command if you are using ADFS for federation)

If you are using any other identity provider for federation then you can replace above last command with below command,

• Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -DomainName <DomainName> -Authentication Managed

Let me know if you have any further questions
