Hello @gabriele langiano,

Thank you for your message.

Since more than 20 days have already passed and the tenant remains in a blocked state, this situation will need to be handled by Microsoft’s Data Protection team. They are the only team with the appropriate permissions to review this type of issue, verify ownership, and either help you regain access to the tenant or remove the domain so it can be reused in your new environment.

To proceed, you will need to contact Microsoft Support by phone so that a ticket can be raised and routed to the correct team. You can find the relevant contact numbers here: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support

When you call, you may hear an automated introduction for about 30 seconds. You can simply wait until the options are presented, then press 1 for business-related support, and press 1 again for technical assistance. This should connect you to an agent who can assist in creating the case for you.

I understand this may not be the most convenient process, however at this stage it is the only supported way to resolve the issue and move forward with your domain.

Please let me know if you need any further guidance.

Kind regards,

The message AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity means the old Microsoft Entra/Azure tenant tied to the @pstudio.it address has been marked inactive and blocked.

Key points from the tenant lifecycle behavior:

• When a tenant is blocked due to inactivity, sign-ins are blocked and the tenant becomes inaccessible.
• Administrators can request reactivation only within 20 days after the tenant is put into this inactive/blocked state.
• After 20 days in this state, the tenant is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

To free the @pstudio.it address for use only in the new company tenant, there are two practical paths depending on timing and what is needed:

1. If the old blocked tenant is still within the 20‑day reactivation window
   • A global administrator of that old tenant must contact Microsoft support and request reactivation:
     • Use the global support phone numbers listed in the documentation.
   • Once reactivated, the admin can clean up or delete that tenant properly (including removing the domain if it was added there) so the address/domain can be used cleanly in the new company tenant.
   • While the support case is open, no additional assistance requests should be submitted for the same issue.
2. If the old tenant has been blocked for more than 20 days
   • After 20 days of being blocked due to inactivity, the tenant is automatically deleted and is not recoverable.
   • Once deletion completes, the old tenant no longer exists; at that point, the company tenant’s admin can add and use the @pstudio.it domain there.

Because the address is now used for a new company tenant and Outlook configuration is failing due to the old, blocked tenant, the concrete next steps are:

• Determine when the old tenant was blocked. If less than 20 days ago, have the old tenant’s admin contact Microsoft using the global support phone numbers to request reactivation, then remove/retire that tenant or its domain.
• If more than 20 days, wait for automatic deletion to complete, then have the company tenant’s global admin add and verify the @pstudio.it domain only in the new tenant and configure the mailbox there.

If there is any doubt which tenant currently holds the @pstudio.it domain, the appropriate admin should open a support request from the tenant where the domain is intended to be used so Microsoft can assist with domain/tenant cleanup.
