On Demand Migration Current - Active Directory Domain Rewrite Quick Start Guide

Can I remove Global Administrator from my account after creating my project?

Yes, you may remove the Global Administrator role from the admin account after the project is configured.  Note, If Domain Move Migration is in-scope of the project, the Global Administrator role must be added back to the account during an active domain move as it is required to remove the domain from the source tenant and add it to the target tenant.

Do I have to modify my domain SPF record when using ERS?

When planning the deployment of Domain Rewrite Service we recommend the following regarding Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records:

Update your existing SPF record to include the On Demand Migration Domain Rewrite list of acceptable domains. This will prevent any hard failures when routing mail through the Rewrite Relay Service.

Include one of the following domains with your SPF record from all source and target domains participating in Domain Rewrite based on the region where your On Demand Migration Domain Rewrite project is configured.

Global Record which includes all region-specific records

  • spf.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

On Demand region-specific records

US

  • spf.us.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

Canada

  • spf.ca.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

EMEA

  • spf.eu.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

United Kingdom

  • spf.uk.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

Australia

  • spf.au.odmad.quest-on-demand.com

LightbulbImportant Tip: Do not plan on utilizing the default “tenant.onmicrosoft.com” domain when deploying On Demand Migration Domain Rewrite Services. This is due to concerns regarding the external recipient domain's having SPF hard fail enabled.
