If you want to add a subdomain name
ad.acme.comto your organization, you should first add and verify the root domain,acme.com. The subdomain is automatically verified by Azure AD. To see that the subdomain you added is verified, refresh the domain list in the browser.If you have already added a
acme.comdomain to one Azure AD organization, you can also verify the subdomainad.acme.comin a different Azure AD organization. When adding the subdomain, you are prompted to add a TXT record in the DNS hosting provider.Check out Add subdomains of a custom domain for further details.

Mario Worwell 11 Reputation points2021-05-20T19:35:37.907+00:00 This was going to be my suggestion as well. Add and verify the root domain from the Registrar, then the subdomains should be added easily.

2021-05-21T16:31:55.143+00:00 @Paul Zanbaka , if this does not work, can you run below commands and let me know the result? :
Connect-MsolService New-MsolDomain -Name ad.acme.com -TenantId <Tenant_ID>Let me know if this helps you.
