A. B.

B

Instead you should customize the default synchronization rule.

Note:

To delete a custom domain name, you must first ensure that no resources in your directory rely on the domain name. You can't delete a domain name from your directory if:

-> Any user has a user name, email address, or proxy address that includes the domain name.

-> Any group has an email address or proxy address that includes the domain name.

-> Any application in your Azure AD has an app ID URI that includes the domain name.

Answer: B. No.

Explanation:

Deleting a custom domain from the Azure Active Directory admin center will not prevent research.fabrikam.com from resyncing to Azure AD. Custom domains are used to verify ownership of a domain name and configure it for use with Azure AD. Deleting a custom domain will not stop Azure AD Connect from syncing user accounts from research.fabrikam.com to Azure AD.

To prevent research.fabrikam.com from resyncing to Azure AD, you need to configure filtering in Azure AD Connect. You can create a filtering rule to exclude the research.fabrikam.com domain from being synced to Azure AD.

Here are the steps to configure filtering in Azure AD Connect:

  1. Open Azure AD Connect.
  2. Click on "Customize synchronization options" and then click "Next".
  3. Select "Domain and OU filtering" and then click "Next".
  4. Click on "Add a domain".
  5. Enter the domain name you want to exclude (in this case, research.fabrikam.com) and click "Add".
  6. Click "OK" to close the window.
  7. Click "Next".
  8. Review the options and click "Next".
  9. Click "Configure" to save the changes.

Once you have configured filtering, Azure AD Connect will not sync any user accounts from the research.fabrikam.com domain to Azure AD.
