How can i edit the NS records in my DNS zone to point to another account DNS zone

Question

I have two Azure accounts, one personal and one business. I purchased a domain via the personal account and the domain is registered and I can see the NS and SOA records. However, the domain is for a business and I want to manage the DNS records in my business accounts. As Azure automatically registered the domain for me, I cannot update the NS records to point to my business DNS zone.

How can I update the NS records, or can you/Microsoft do it for me?
They need to change them so that they point to my business DNS Zone

Answer 1

Add NS records to the zone. As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-zones-records#ns-records

The NS record set at the zone apex (name '@') gets created automatically with each DNS zone and gets deleted automatically when the zone gets deleted. It can't be deleted separately.

This record set contains the names of the Azure DNS name servers assigned to the zone. You can add more name servers to this NS record set, to support cohosting domains with more than one DNS provider. You can also modify the TTL and metadata for this record set. However, removing or modifying the prepopulated Azure DNS name servers isn't allowed.

This restriction only applies to the NS record set at the zone apex. Other NS record sets in your zone (as used to delegate child zones) can be created, modified, and deleted without constraint.
