Domain strategy

There are two approaches to handling the domain during the transition: keeping your current domain or changing to a new one. VaultMe for Admins supports both scenarios.

Domains have to be managed through your domain service provider. VaultMe for Admins will not transfer the domain or domain settings.

Keep the domain

If you choose to keep your existing domain, you can temporarily stage destination users in Microsoft 365 on a onmicrosoft.com domain. For instructions from Microsoft, see this article: Add or replace your onmicrosoft.com domain. Alternatively, you can use a secondary domain that you own or purchase a new temporary domain from Microsoft.

After you've migrated the user data, you need to unlink your domain from the source Microsoft account, verify its ownership in the desination Microsoft account, and replace the fallback domain with the primary domain.

After you've migrated user data and replaced the temporary domain with the primary one, you need to update the MX records in your domain registrar so that the email flows through the new accounts.

VaultMe for Admins does not provide support for domain management. If you need help setting up, managing, or transferring the domain, consider reaching out to Microsoft's support team.

Change the domain

If you’re rebranding or consolidating, you can migrate users from user@old-domain.com to user@new-domain.com. VaultMe for Admins supports mapping from one address to another.

If you choose to change the domain, you can purchase it through your preferred provider. The domain must be purchased before you set up a migration.
