For example, if you were in Hobart, in the state of Tasmania, Australia, you would choose Australia.
You can change the name servers that host your custom domain from the original registrar to Office 365. The method that you use to do this depends on the domain registrar that currently hosts the records that point to the name servers associated with the custom domain.

Unlike other Office 365 settings, you cannot change the tenant region once you have selected it. The only way to alter a tenant region is to cancel your existing subscription and to create a new subscription.
Global administrator: Office 365 users assigned this role have access to all administrative features. Users assigned this role are the only users able to assign other ___roles. More than one Office 365 user account can be assigned the global admin role.
admin
The first step in configuring Office 365 to use a custom domain name is to
add the name of the custom domain name to Office 365.
An email account that will be associated with the trial: You should sign up for a ___email account that you will use only with the trial.
brand-new
For example: Your organization has provisioned the contoso.microsoftonline.com Office 365 tenancy. Your organization has its own on-premises mail solution. It uses the contoso.com email suffix. You set the domain as an ___. Configure the on-premises mail solution to configure mail forwarding of each pilot user account to the contoso.microsoftonline.com mail domain. For example, the on-premises mailbox for the don.funk
contoso.com email account should forward all incoming email to [email protected]. @Internal Relay domain
Configure each pilot user's account in Office 365 to use the on-premises DNS zone mail domain. For example, Don Funk's Office 365 user account should be configured with a reply-to address of don.funk
contoso.com. You can migrate the contents of pilot users' on-premises mailboxes using @Exchange Admin Center.
User management administrator: When assigned this role, users can reset passwords and monitor service health. They can also manage user accounts, user groups, and service requests. Users assigned this role are unable to
delete accounts assigned the global admin role; create other admin roles; or reset passwords for users assigned the billing, global, or service admin roles.
Business email address: This account will be used if you need to recover the tenancy's ___account password. Because the global administrator is able to take any action, you want to ensure that the account that the recovery password can be sent to is secure and is only accessible to authorized people.
global administrator
User name: This will be the username of the ___account. For an organization, the name for this account should not be a standard user name, but should be appropriate for an account that will have the highest level of permissions.
global administrator
The first step in selecting users for a pilot program is to determine
how many users you want to include in the pilot program.
Service administrator: Office 365 users assigned the service admin role are able to
manage service requests and monitor service health.
Configure the tenant name: When you set up your Office 365 subscription, you specify a tenant name in the form of ___where name is the name you want to assign to your organization's tenancy.
name.onmicrosoft.com
Company name: This will be your organization's ___name. You'll be able to configure Office 365 to use a more traditional domain name at a later point in time.
onmicrosoft.com
Microsoft requires that you perform a series of DNS configuration changes to the domain name that will prove that your organization controls and has ___of the domain.
ownership
Business email address: Input the email address to be associated with the subscription. This should not be a
personal account, but should be a secure account created expressly for the purpose of being associated with the subscription.
You can assign a domain name that you own to the tenant so that you don't have to use the tenant name on a regular basis. For example, you might sign up to an Office 365 subscription with the tenant name contoso.onmicrosoft.com. Any accounts you create will use the contoso.onmicrosoft.com email suffix for their Office 365 mailboxes. However, once you've set up Office 365, you can assign a custom domain name and have the custom domain name used as the___. For example, assuming that you owned the domain name contoso.com, you could configure your tenancy to use the custom domain name contoso.com with the contoso.onmicrosoft.com tenancy.
primary email suffix
You'll learn more about using custom domains later in this chapter. While you can configure a custom domain name to be the default domain name and use the custom domain name exclusively when performing Office 365 related tasks, you won't be able to remove the tenant name. The tenant name chosen at setup ___with the subscription over the course of the subscription's existence.
remains
When selecting users for the Office 365 pilot, you need to ensure that you select a variety of users that
represents the organization in its entirety.
When you are signed up to an Office 365 subscription that is not a trial subscription, you'll also be able to view a node named Bills. You can use this node to
review invoices by date.
The Office 365 on-ramp readiness tool allows you to
run a set of tests to identify troubleshooting and configuration problems with Office 365.
It is possible to migrate the email accounts of a small number of users from your on-premises environment to Office 365 while keeping the majority of your existing mailboxes in the on-premises mail solution. The method for doing this is termed
simple domain sharing for SMTP email addresses
The first ___account created when you sign up for Office 365 is automatically assigned the global admin role. This role has the most rights of any available role.
tenancy
Most countries/regions don't have local Microsoft datacenters, which might mean
that moving workloads to Office 365 means moving workloads across national/regional borders. For some workload types, this may not present a problem; for other workload types, such as for workloads that deal with confidential medical data, it may not be possible to migrate the workloads across borders without contravening local legislation.
Have been with the organization a minimum of six months This ensures
that the pilot users are familiar with normal organizational procedures. Already trained on the software that they will be using For example, if the pilot program involves moving to online mailboxes, pilot users should already be familiar with Outlook.
You can only use a custom domain name with Office 365 if your organization owns
the domain name.
Exam Tip Remember that the account used to configure the Office 365 subscription will automatically be assigned
the global administrator role.
Password administrator: Office 365 users assigned the password admin role are able to reset the passwords of most Office 365 user accounts, except
those assigned the global admin, service admin, or billing roles. Users assigned the password admin role can reset the passwords of other users assigned the password admin role.
Billing administrator: Office 365 users assigned this role are able to make purchases, manage subscriptions, manage support___, and monitor service health.
tickets
An email account that will be associated with the trial: You should avoid associating a subscription, even a trial subscription, with a personal email account because
trial subscriptions can eventually become ongoing corporate subscriptions.
An email account that will be associated with the trial: To ensure that the email account remains secure, you should also configure this account to use
two-factor authentication.
Exam Tip Remember what type of DNS record you have to manually configure to confirm ownership of a custom domain.
txt
This name has to be ___and no two organizations can share the same tenant name.
unique
By configuring a custom domain's purpose, you can choose how it will be used with Office 365. For example, you might want to
use one custom domain as an email suffix, and another custom domain for use with Skype for Business.
Users who have been assigned the global administrator or ___administrator roles can assign licenses to users when creating new Office 365 user accounts or can assign licenses to accounts that are created through directory synchronization or federation.
user management
A mobile device that can receive SMS messages: This device will be used to
verify your identity.
Tenant region: Tenant region determines
which Office 365 services will be available to the subscription, the taxes that will be applied as a part of the subscription charges, the billing currency for the subscription, and the Microsoft datacenter that will host the resources allocated to the subscription.
When planning an Office 365 pilot, an important thing to realize is that not all workloads need to be migrated to Office 365. Implementing Office 365 is not an all-or-nothing proposition. While it's possible to have all user accounts, Exchange mailboxes, Skype for Business infrastructure, and SharePoint sites hosted in Office 365, it's also possible to configure a hybrid deployment where these services are both on-premises and in the cloud. For example,
you could have a deployment where only a fraction of your organization's user accounts are native to Office 365, some mailboxes are hosted on-premises, and some are hosted in Office 365 cloud. Your organization's SharePoint deployment could even be spread across servers in your local datacenter and others in Microsoft datacenters.
License conflicts occur when
you have assigned more licenses than you have purchased.
Part of the reason for the pilot is to identify potential pitfalls. For example,
you want to figure out that there's a particular on-premises requirement for a group of workers in the accounting department before you migrate their workloads to Office 365.
