When you create a new Azure AD tenant, you have the opportunity to select a custom domain name for your tenant. After you create the tenant, you need to create a DNS record that points the domain name to your Azure AD tenant.

The type of DNS record you need to create depends on the domain name you select. If you select an existing domain name, you need to create a A record that points the domain name to your Azure AD tenant.

If you select a custom domain name, you need to create a CNAME record that points the domain name to your Azure AD tenant.

After you create the DNS record, you need to configure your web hosting provider to include your Azure AD tenant in the domain name. After your web hosting provider adds your Azure AD tenant to the domain, you can access your tenant’s resources by visiting the domain name in your web browser.

If you have any questions about creating or configuring DNS records for your Azure AD tenant, contact your web hosting provider or Azure Support.
