I have added a domain name to my Azure Active Directory account, but it says that the domain name is unverified.
In order to to verify the domain name, I go into my 'default directory' and go to the 'Domains' tab, where I can see my whatever.com domain name listed. I click it to highlight it and then click on the Verify button at the bottom bar and a box pops up: 'Configure domain for single sign-on', telling me to go to the "Directory Integration page and complete all steps..." There's also a checkbox, asking to take me to the Directory Integration page now. And that's it, except for the tick button in the bottom right.
The only option I have, is to be sent to the Directory Integrations page, with help topics that point to other web pages that do not necessarily reflect what I'm seeing inside the Azure Portal, in terms of verify domain names.
I understand that I need to create a TXT record on the domain name I have already purchased, and I can see from other screenshots that I need to find a value within Azure (somewhere) that has the value 'MS=xxxxxx' but finding out where to get that value from is proving difficult.
Am I looking in the wrong place for this?
In the current version of the management portal, the necessary verification information is only displayed if you do not check the option for "I plan to configure this domain for single sign-on...".
If you add the domain and leave that option unchecked, the next step of the dialog will display the MS=xxxxxxxxx value that you need to register as a TXT entry on your DNS server.
I believe the reason it's not displayed when you opt for single sign-on is that the value is meant to be retrieved as part of the AD FS configuration (or whichever STS implementation you will be deploying).
Check out this article: Quick Start Guide for Integrating a Single Forest On-Premises Active Directory with Windows Azure AD
In particular you are probably looking for the Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns cmdlet.
I don't have an AD FS deployment to verify this on currently, but I'd be very surprised if the TXT values differ between the two setups, so the first thing I would try is grabbing the value from the screens when the single sign-on is not selected and adding it to your DNS zone.
Hopefully, this points you in the right direction.
Edit: An updated article covering the updated management portal is now available: Add a custom domain name to Azure Active Directory
Type the below code into your Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Powershell
Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns -DomainName <domainName> -Mode dnstxtrecord
where domainName is the domain that you need to verify.
You will get a Label,Text And TTL. You need to add this to the DNS record of your domain(domainName) and then type the below code to complete the verification process.
Confirm-MSolDomain -DomainName <domainName>
Ofcourse you need to connect to your azure account before you verify the domain.
Connect-MsolService –Credential $cred
If you are adding a new domain:
Be sure you're in the "Domains" tab in the portal when you add your domain via the popup dialog.
Once it says it's successfully added, click the "right arrow" button in the bottom-right of the dialog
The second page should have the TXT record you need to add.
If you already added it and it's waiting to be verified:
Be sure you're in the "Domains" tab in the portal.
Select your domain with an "Unverified" status.
Click on the "Verify" icon at the bottom and it will bring up a dialog with the TXT record you need to add.

Do you know if there is a way to disable the only verified custom domains usage when new create a new Azure Active Directory user.For example i want to create a user that is using gmail. I have tried to add gmail as custom domain and verify it, but noticed that the steps are related to the dns records of the domain so i cannot do this. I know i can use the invitation service, but i want to directly to create the user without invitation. So did someone experienced this, and if soo i am open for advices.
Have a nice day and stay safe.
It is not possible to create a user in Azure Active Directory that is using Gmail. In order to create a user in Azure Active Directory you need to add your domain and verify in Azure Portal.
You need to get your domain name by Go daddy etc... then you need to add in Azure Active directory and verify it. After that you can create a user name under that domain.
I recommend you to go through this two documents to get more detailed information.
My user was migrated to another domain. I registered a wrong user name and I want to edit it again. I can only change my email but not the user name. I cannot find a way to register again.
You will have to change your organization name. You can do this from the "Organization Settings" (which is at the bottom in the left panel at the time of this writing).
I have been trying to figure out how to add a custom URL for the myapps.Microsoft.com portal. I know it is possible but can not figure out how. I have tried adding a cname pointing to account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com and one pointing to iamux.aadg.windows.net.nsatc.net but I keep ending up with certificate errors. can anyone help?
You cannot add a custom URL for that portal in this way.
It would require you to not only redirect DNS queries, but also install an HTTPS certificate on Microsoft servers, which you can't do.
What you can do of course, is setup your own Web service at that URL which issues a redirect to the myapps portal.
I figured out a workaround on how to add your own URLs and tiles in the myapps portal page.
Here is what I did, and it works perfectly fine for me.
Steps:
Login to your https://portal.azure.com/ account
Go to "Azure Active Directory"
Go to "Enterprise applications"
Click "+ New Application"
Click "+ Create your own application"
Give a name for the app (Your own web service server)
Choose "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery"
Now the app is created
Under "Manage"
1)- Click "User and groups"
- Add all the users/groups you wish them to view/use your new URL tile and save
2)- Click "Properties"
- Upload image logo to something you want and save
3)- Click Single Sign-on
- Select "Linked" mode
- Then enter the URL you want and save.
Done. That should work like a charm
Here is myapps portal page setup
I've been following this guide on deploying an ASP.NET web application with CI. It has all been going smoothly till I got to the Configure Logins and Database Permissions stage. Particularly when entering the login name.
http://www.asp.net/web-forms/overview/deployment/configuring-server-environments-for-web-deployment/configuring-a-database-server-for-web-deploy-publishing
For the life of me I cannot discover what must go in this field
The author supplies the following instruction
Machine accounts take the form [domain name][machine name]$ —for example, FABRIKAM\TESTWEB1$.
Despite scouring the internet I have found very little in regard to discovering the domain name and machine name values to be inserted here. Almost everything I enter results in
Create failed for Login 'HISSAP\matt$'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=13.0.15600.2+((SSMS_Rel).160712-1724)&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Create+Login&LinkId=20476
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Windows NT user or group 'HIAP\matt$' not found. Check the name again. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15401)
Now I know that 'matt' is a user account entered above and not a machine account, but I am at a loss in determining what needs to go into the Login Name for the machine account described above in the tutorial. When I use "Search" next to the field I have many options to select many different accounts, but how am I to know which one to select? The tutorial does not specify.
Could I just use a user account for the machine account? If so which one? If not what should I enter as the machine name?
I think the domain name is HIAP, I tried the computer name for the machine name which is also hiap, I tried different cases, with and without the $ at the end. I also went into IIS and tried the host name in site bindings which is hiapdev. Did not work.
I am remotely connecting to a Windows Server 2012 R2.
Don't try the Search... button in General tab to search machine account. Machine account cannot be searched in Select User or Group dialog box. Please follow below mentioned steps to add a machine account to a SQL Server instance:
Open a new login window.
Click General page in the left navigation pane.
Give input in the Login name field in the format [domainName]\[MachineName]$. In your case it is FABRIKAM\TESTWEB1$
Now go to Server Roles page. Check sysadmin server role as shown below:
Press OK. Now, you can see your machine's account under Security > Logins node.

We have Single Sign-on working for a test application in Azure, using Azure Active Directory and the on-premise server running DirSync to synchronise the user details.
I have added a Custom Domain and verified it, by adding TXT records to the DNS entries at my registrar's website. In order to do this, I followed advice (from stackoverflow questions) that I needed to untick the option that said "I plan to configure this domain for single sign-on with my local Active Directory", in order to gain access to the additional information that allows me to prove ownership of the domain.
As a result, the domain has been verified and Azure recognises this, allowing me to see the domain as being 'verified', but the Single Sign-On value for this custom domain is set to 'Not Planned'.
The problem is now, I want to be able to re-tick that check box, and enable this domain to be used with the single sign-on, as I don't want to have to tell my users to use their log-in email addresses as 'username#something.onmicrosoft.com' as they'll never get it and will pester me to change it.
So, my question is: Is there a way to re-tick this box, and change the status of this field away from that of 'Not Planned', and (hopefully) to allow my users to sign in using their username#domain.com instead?
I have tried to remove the domain and re-add it, but Azure stops me from deleting it, as it's probably already well utilised in the rest of the processes. Also, I have no ability (or at least that's how it seems!) to go back into this custom domain within Azure and modify it.
UPDATE: I have tried to Deactivate the Directory Integration directory sync - this allows me to adjust the sync'd user's email addresses, but they're reverted back to .onmicrosoft.com once the sync is Activated again.
UPDATE 2: I have tried to install PowerShell to remotely administer the custom domain to becoming active, but I just cannot connect, despite several hours of trying.
If you added (and verified) a domain without ticking the checkbox, your domain is considered "standard", or "managed". You can convert this domain to a "federated" domain with the Convert-MsolDomainToFederated cmdlet from the Azure Active Directory PowerShell module:
Convert-MsolDomainToFederated -DomainName "contoso.com"
Tip for next time: After you add the domain with the single sign-on tick, you can run the following to get the DNS records to verify the domain:
Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns -DomainName "contoso.com"
