For us to provision the Tier1 environment to be connected to a new Azure AD tenant, we need to change the administrator of the D365FO instance. Type the following command:
Please note that the value for the AdminSignInName parameter should be a user account using it primary domain. Replace "[email protected]" with the user account you want to use.
Set-D365Admin -AdminSignInName [email protected]
You might face an error while trying to provision the new administrator. This issue is connected to the Batch service running. We have seen several issues where we are unable to stop the service with the normal tools available, even standard Windows tools. We have seen 2 ways to fix this issue: First option is a simple restart of the entire machine and straight after the reboot try doing it again. Second option is to kill the Batch service using the Task Manager.
In this how to we showed you how to can provision the D365FO environment to a new Azure AD tenant, by switching out the D365FO administrator.
If the environment has external users imported already, you will need to follow the How-To-Update-Users how to before they can access the environment.
