Hi Daryl,<br><br>Cool, if we go full 0365 for emails as well (eventually we will be doing), will the UPN solution still work? In your opinion is adding the UPN suffix a better option than renaming the .local domain. Sorry if this is a silly question, but could we migrate from the .local to .co.uk. ie setup the <a rel="ugc nofollow" target="_blank">company.co</a>.uk domain. Setup trusts between the two and move everyone over? How would exchange handle this?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Paul

Hi Experts,<br><br>We currently run a .local domain. We will very shortly be looking at adopting O365 on a wider scale. We have access to the <a rel="ugc nofollow" target="_blank">company.co</a>.uk domain.

Hi Experts,
We currently run a .local domain. We will very shortly be looking at adopting O365 on a wider scale. We have access to the
company.co
.uk domain. What are the steps to move the domain from a company.local to a
company.co
.uk without breaking too much.
Thankyou
Paul

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
