Federating domains

using azure ad connect to set up federation between my on-prem domain and my office365 tenant domain.

got most of the way through the wizard then then got this:

i am baffled by this. of course it's the same domain, we only have one. it was the only option in the drop-down list for domains, and there is only the one global administrator.

what does this mean and how is it supposed to work? can someone provide an example?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Subscription, account, billing | For business | Other

OK, sorted.

I had to change the properties of my Azure AD user to belong to another domain (an "onmicrosoft" one) which was visible on the office portal but not in the drop-down on the AD Connect wizard locally.

Once this was done and the wizard was re-started, everything worked as it should.

To say this is confusing would be a bit of an understatement.

    Oh wait - my screenshot disappeared.

    The message was:

    "We cannot federate an Azure AD Domain while signed in to Azure AD as a user in the same domain. Please choose a different domain to federate or restart this wizard and provide different Azure global administrator credentials"

    Sorry about that.
