Transfer domain to Azure with Authorization Code

Question

Hi Folks,

I would like to know if there is any documented way of transfering ownership of a domain to Azure DNS.

Creating a DNS Zone and asking the provider to switch the name servers to Azure is a valiy approach, but in this case the ownership of the domain would still be with the external registrar and I can manage the domain in Azure.

In my case I have an authorization code to transfer the domain and would like to move the ownership to Azure completely.
Found this code on github which creates a zone taking the auth code as a param:
https://github.com/michaelfery/azure-domain-transfer/blob/master/DomainTransfer.ps1

Does that still hold good and is that the right way to go ahead in this case ?

Regards,
Kartik.

@Kartik Kumar | Acura MVZ , Here is a simple PowerShell script by Jos (Author) to transfer existing domain ownership to Azure DNS along with Authcode.

   Register-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.DomainRegistration  
   $rgName = "NAME OF YOUR RESOURCE GROUP"  
   $ResourceLocation = "Global"  
   $ResourceName = "MYDOMAINNAME.NL"  
   $PropertiesObject = @{  
   'Consent' = @{  
   'AgreementKeys' = @("DNPA","DNTA");  
   'AgreedBy' = '122.13.11.20'; #ip address you're running this script from  
   'AgreedAt' = '2017-17-07T08:37:40'; #roughly the current time  
   };  
   'authCode' = 'DOMAIN TRANSFER CODE'; #code by current domain provider  
   'Privacy' = 'true';  
   'autoRenew' = 'true';  
   }  
      
   New-AzureRmResource -ResourceName $ResourceName -Location $ResourceLocation -PropertyObject $PropertiesObject -ResourceGroupName $rgName -ResourceType Microsoft.DomainRegistration/domains -ApiVersion 2015-02-01 -Verbose

Hi @suvasara-MSFT ,

Thank you for your reply. I found the repository and had linked it in my initial response.

My question still remains, is this the correct way to go? Since i dont see any concrete documentation from Microsoft on this.

Does Azure offer Domain registration service or is it just hosting and the ownership still is on a 3rd party side?
