Transcript

To create a new directory and add a custom domain for it, log into the Azure portal. While in the portal, open Azure Active Directory and click on the create a directory link. Provide an Organization name along with the domain to use for the directory. Select a country or region and then click create. Once the directory has been provisioned, click the link to manage the new directory and sign in if required to do so. From within Azure Active Directory click custom domain names and then add your custom domain name. Provide and internet routable custom domain name and then click add domain. 

At this point you're provided with the option to verify the domain via either a text record or an MX record. My preference is to typically use the text record. Copy the record value and then visit your domain's DNS management console. Create a text record and supply the value that you were provided. Save your new text record and switch back over to Azure. Click the verify button to verify the domain using the DNS record that you've just created. After verifying the domain, set its primary. And then click yes to confirm.
