I have an old website I'm trying to move to an Azure Virtual Machine (Windows 10 Server). My old service gave me an EPP Code and unlocked the domain, but after hours of research I couldn't find anything that told me how to transfer it to the server.
Domains can only be transferred amongst Domain registrars. Microsoft or you VM is not a Domain registrar so you cannot transfer to either.
You can set record on current domain registrar to point to your VM or website hosted in VM like article in comment mentions.
If you are trying to manage everything on the azure portal you can make use of Azure DNS. This will make it easier to assign domain to azure resources, just be aware there is a cost to it. You can follow this article to host you domain in Azure DNS.
Hope this helps.

Good Afternoon,
after 2-3 Days trying to move my Domain from a Webhoster to Azure, i need your Help.
My actual Webhoster has Plesk. Over Plesk i can access and change all the DNS Entrys.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns
Based on this Walkthrough i'll have created 4 Entrys at my actual WebHoster and the Verification of the Domain is allright. When i run the command
nslookup -type=SOA #mydomain# i see a azure dns.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-custom-dns-migrate-domain
After that i wanted to create a Test App in Azure. Based on the above Walkthroughs i managed to set my Custom Domain for my App Service. I made this Settings at my old WebHoster and in my newly created DNS-Zone in Azure.
So far so good. So I have deactivated the local DNS Service in Plesk in order to move on to Azure that should manage my DNS now. So i'll have deleted the Custom Domain in my App Service and created it again but this time it should point to my Azure DNS. But in the Creation Dialog of Creating a Custom Domain it tells me that im not the owner of the Domain.
Im confused and floating somwhere in the Dark. Could some guys point to the right direction. Do i have to do additional Entrys in the Azure DNS?
I hope someone can understand my bad Descriptions :).
Thanks for every help
After you host your domain in Azure DNS, you only need to manage your DNS entry in the Azure DNS zone.
Thus, in the step of migrating an active DNS name to Azure App Service, you can create domain verification records in the Azure DNS zone.
Then you also need to add the custom domain to the web app and remap the active DNS records via A or CNAME record following that steps in the document.
Thanks Nancy for the answer.
i could solve the Problem. I found this ?-Button in Plesk that let you test the DNS-Zone on the Nameserver. There was an ip poping up that does not belong to an A-Reccord. But the weird thing is thtat this Ip-Adress also did not belong to the App-Service IP.
But as soon as i added this Ip everything went fine and is working now.
Thanks
I feel like I may be trying to sprint before I can even walk here, but I'm getting there! I've got a VM on Azure that I want to be able to access a local fileserver from. We have the following setup:
$COMPANY.net is the local domain, $COMPANY.com is the Azure domain. They are connected using Azure AD Connect, and the VM on Azure is using AADDS; we have a site to site vpn setup between Azure and our local network. I can put in the IP address of the local fileserver and reach it from the Azure VM, but I can't resolve the name if I try that. I believe it is a DNS problem, I need the Azure VM to use my local DNS server to resolve the host name rather than the AADDS addresses. Do I need to set up a DNS server on Azure that will point the requests to my local DNS, or is there another way?
Thank you!
You can specify DNS server for your Azure VM to use. The doc is quite large: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/master/articles/virtual-network/virtual-networks-name-resolution-for-vms-and-role-instances.md
Your name resolution needs might go beyond the features provided by Azure. For example, you might need to use Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory domains, resolve DNS names between virtual networks. To cover these scenarios, Azure provides the ability for you to use your own DNS servers.

I have a problem in seeing up a custom finding to reach the website which is running on Azure VM.
Recently I have set up a new VM on Azure Virtual Network and let it run an php application as IIS. I have successfully configured custom DNS label so I can reach to the website with "http://hogehoge.japaneast.cloudapp.azure.com".
However, I can't well get a way to set up a custom domain, for example, "http://hogehoge.net". I made some search and managed to create a new DNS Zone, and then I also added a CNAME record, which is shown in the attached image, to it.
But I can't reach to the site. I know it is probably matter of course since I didn't configure DNS registrar. Also I haven't yet purchased the domain.
I think I made some mistake in my procedure. Could anyone point out what is wrong?
The problem is that your machine is not using the Azure DNS nameservers by default. You should add the CNAME/A records in your domain registrar's records, not in Azure DNS.
I bought some domains a few years ago and managed it within the admin section the provider offered. I would like to manage both the domains and servers within one service, hence Azure. Is their a way to transfer my domain to a service within Azure? I know you can buy domains within Azure, hence I assume you can transfer them to Azure as well, though I read everywhere that I can only point them within the DNS.
Help would be highly appreciated!
You can use Azure DNS (warning: currently in preview so no SLA)
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/dns/
You maintain the old registrar for all administrative activities (i.e. annually payment for your domain) and move technical activities on Azure (name server and DNS records). You can do that for all your domanin (yourdomain.com) or only for a zone (subdom.yourdomain.com).
Details here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/dns-getstarted-create-dnszone-portal/
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/dns-domain-delegation/
I registered some domains in registrar A, but I am not satisfied with the quality of t's service. And I want to move my domains to Azure (not only deligating domain, but full management), other words - like I bought domains in Azure. I think, this will be more easy to manage all my resources in Azure only.
I need to write a request to my registrar A with full name of new registrar and set ids.
Is it possible to move domains to Azure?
Where I can get Azure registrar ids?
Looking at the comments here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/custom-dns-web-site-buydomains-web-app/, as of today it is not possible to move domains to Azure. What you could do is move domain to other registrar and make use of Azure DNS Service for DNS hosting of your domains in Azure.
