Can we create multiple domains under one main domain but not as child domains in Azure Entra ID. They have to be independent.

Question

Can I create multiple independent domains in one Azure Entra ID service?

Answer 1

Yes, you can create multiple independent domains within a single Azure Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) service. This allows you to manage different domains under one directory, which can be useful for organizations with multiple brands, subsidiaries, or business units.

Here are the steps to add a new domain:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal: Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your admin account.
2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory: In the left-hand navigation pane, select Azure Active Directory.
3. Add a custom domain: Under Custom domain names, select Add custom domain.
4. Enter the domain name: Type the name of the domain you want to add (e.g., example.com) and select Add domain.
5. Verify the domain: Follow the instructions to verify ownership of the domain. This typically involves adding a TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings.
6. Complete the verification: Once the domain is verified, it will be added to your Azure Entra ID.
