Next Steps

NOTE Make sure you have added 2 routing domains to your tenant, and created 2 user/service accounts. If not, you're not ready to move onto the next steps. |
We recommend that you wait about an hour before continuing to the next stepsteps. This allows Microsoft's back-end services to fully sync up with the new routing domains.
