Adding Domains to Office 365 using PowerShell

Comments (8) | Share

When you face large Office 365 implementations you might need to add many domains, going through the wizard will take up much time.

Recently I had to work through an extensive list of domains as well, so I created a quick few lines of PowerShell that helped me solve this in seconds instead of hours.
Using PowerShell and an input file I added the domains and additional to that got a list of all DNS txt records that were needed to be created.

Here is the PowerShell script: here is the PowerShell script I used

$domains=import-csv .\domains.csv                                                
$txtrecord=@()                                                                
foreach($domain in $domains){                                                    
new-msoldomain -Name $domain.domain                                                
$txtrecord+=(Get-MsolDomainVerificationDNS -DomainName $domain.domain -mode dnstxtrecord)        
}                                                                        
$txtrecord | select-object text,label,ttl | export-csv c:\temp\txtrecord.csv                            

This will give you a nice CSV file with the required DNS txt records per domain, which you can send to your DNS gurus to do their thing.

As input file I used a CSV file that was built as following:

Domain            
contoso.com        
Tailspintoys.com    
Fabrikam.com        
Contoso.net        
Tailspintoys.net    
Fabrikam.net            

Of course you will need the Windows Azure Active Directory Module to do this.
