I have a primary domain in azure called somename.onmicrosoft.com but its not resolving to any IP.
This is the default domain that is available and a new one can't be created. I'm trying to join VM's to this domain. But nslookup doesn't resolve the address somename.onmicrosoft.com.
Any idea what I need to do in order for this to work?
when you signup to azure you will get a default directory with onmicrosoft.com domain and it will be your primary domain. You can't change or delete the initial domain name, but you can add your organization's names as a custom domain. Adding custom domain names helps you to create user names that are familiar to your users, such as abc#yourorg.com. but you can not domain join virtual machines to azure ad.
To add virtual machines to domain You need to have active directory domain controller running in on-premise or in azure. If you don't have an on-Prem setup you can deploy azure adds managed instance and add your virtual machines to the ADDS domain.

I'm trying to create Windows Server VM joined to the AAD where my Azure Subscription is.
I'm reading Join a Windows Server virtual machine to a managed domain, but I'm stuck on step #6:
select the virtual network in which your Azure AD DS-managed domain is
deployed. Pick a different subnet than the one that your managed
domain is deployed into
There are no virtual networks in the select box and the only options is to create new. But if I create new, then I can't reach the domain controller from the VM.
When using AAD with no other AD on prem or located in Azure, you need to create an Active Directory Domain Services account in order to join VMs to that domain.
Otherwise, if you are syncing your on premise domain to your AAD domain via AD Sync you just need to ensure that the VMs you want to join to the domain have access to the virtual network where the domain is located. This means you can opt to peer virtual networks in Azure or connect the separate networks using a Site-to-Site VPN connection.
For this particular issue, you would go with the Active Directory Domain Services account and put it into a blank subnet in the same Vnet as the Virtual Machines are located. Once this is one, you will be able to connect the VMs to your managed domain.
I have setup domain services in Azure using the domain name "cloud.mydomain.com". Microsoft documentation specifically says to avoid creating DNS names with the ".local" suffix due to routing issue so I didn't do that.
When setting up an on-premise domain sync using AD Sync tool, the on-premise active directory UPN suffix "mydomain.local" does not match the "cloud.mydomain.com" custom domain name in Azure.
When this happens, documentation indicates that the UPN suffix of the users of this domain will be changed to the default .onmicrosoft.com suffix. Is it critical that they match in order to get integrated security to azure resources such as SQL servers using their on-premise domain account?
If they do have to match, then I'd have to create a custom domain name called "mydomain.local". Since that only exists in the on-premise domain, how would that ever be verified?

Of course, the Azure AD is very critical for the security. And the default .onmicrosoft.com suffix is due to you create the domain is under Microsoft in the Azure portal.
Since that only exists in the on-premise domain, how would that ever
be verified?
You cannot directly use your local domain to verify with Azure AD, due to your local domain .local is a private domain. You need to register a domain in public, and then you could verify it with Azure AD. After verified success, you should add this domain into your local DNS, then when you syncing, the .local could be matched with Azure AD.
So I'm using Azure domain services with a DNS name of "hde.mydomain.com" (that's not the actual domain). This was successfully created. I can ping the DNS servers that were created as part of this domain but I cannot PING the domain itself using "hde.mydomain.com". I have not added "mydomain.com" as a custom domain in Azure Active directory because this custom domain is already being used as a custom domain in office 365 (it complains that I need to remove it before adding it to the Azure active directory custom domain names).
So the question is this...when using a non "on-microsoft" DNS name when configuring domain services, like I chose to do, does that require the root part of that DNS name be added as a custom domain name in Azure Active directory or should I be able to use whatever DNS name I want without a custom domain and have it be pingable from servers that I would like to domain join from?
You can try pinging the Virtual IP address and see if it reaches. Sometimes it's just finicky about the name.
Also, check your NSG, firewall, and file sharing settings to ensure nothing is blocking this.

In order to sync an on-premises domain to Azure, I believe I need to do the following.
Add custom domain name matching my on-premises domain name
Verify this domain name
Run AD Sync from a computer joined to my on-premises domain
When running the domain sync, it indicates the mydomain.local has not been verified which is required to be able to sign-in to Azure AD with on-premises credentials.
Since that is a DNS name that is only known by the on-premises domain due to the .local suffix, how can we verify it?

Due to your local domain is a private domain, so you cannot verify it with Azure AD. The Azure AD can only verify the domain that registered in public.
You need to register a new domain in public, and then use this new domain to verify with the Azure AD. Once the domain verified, you should add it to your local DNS, and by this, you not need change you .local suffix, then when syncing to Azure AD, the local domain can be matched with Azure AD.
I am hosting my nodejs project on microsoft azure. Now i wanted do custom domain but i don't know how to do, I have external go daddy domain.
Presently my project running on azure vm's default DNSName.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com domain, now I wanted to change my goDaddy domain. How can I do that, Can anyone help to do this
below is my vm's configuration.
According to your description, we can add A record to map your domain name to this VM's public IP address, or you can add CNAME to map your domian name to this VM's DNSName.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com.
About add an A record.
