Autoconnect Broken after Office 365 mailbox migration to new tenant

Hi,

I have just migrated one of 3 domains from Office 365 Tenant A to Office 365 Tenant B. I can't get Outlook 2016 clients to connect to the mailboxes on the new tenant at all. I've run the Online Support and Recovery Assistant and this confirms there is an issue with Autodiscover but doesn't expand on what the issue is. Bearing in mind the external dns records remained unchanged and have been verified by the new 365 tenant, I don't see how autodiscover can be wrong.   I've tried setting up Outlook on a test PC that has never connected to the old tenant and that fails too so I don't think it's cached dns.  Anyone have any ideas what might be going on please?

Many thanks

Adam

Hi, yes OWA works fine and we can send and receive email from it. I ran the Outlook Autodiscover test and it failed all over the place, mainly isses with XML. An example error is below:

Attempting to send an Autodiscover POST request to potential Autodiscover URLs.
 
Autodiscover settings weren't obtained when the Autodiscover POST request was sent.
 

Additional Details
 
Elapsed Time: 1063 ms.
 

Test Steps
 

The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer is attempting to retrieve an XML Autodiscover response from URL https://autodiscover-s.outlook.com:443/Autodiscover/user.name..domain.com/user.name..domain.com/Autodiscover.xml for user user.name@domain.com.
 
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer failed to obtain an Autodiscover XML response.
 

Additional Details
 
A Web exception occurred because an HTTP 404 - NotFound response was received from Unknown.

Also get this one:

The Autodiscover SRV record wasn't found in DNS.
Can you try running the same test for the default user@newtenant.onmicrosoft.com alias?
Just tried running the test on the onmicrosoft address and get this:

What's the error on the HTTP redirect method?
Hi Vasil, it looks like this issue was caused by a delay at the Microsoft end setting everything up behind the scenes, it all started working about 48 hours later, appreciate your help though thank you
Thank you
