Question: When we decided to implement Office 365/SharePoint online, we found out that some rando is squatting on our company name domain already. Our IT organization found an available domain and chose that. But, it’s long and clunky.
We have the E3 license.
What are our options for letting our internal users get to the sites/share links without using the full domain name?
I understand that we will also hit the URL length limit faster now that our domain is:
companynameandlongerlegalparenttitle.sharepoint.com
instead of
company.sharepoint.com
but that’s a thing I’ll have to deal with.
Thanks!
As it stands today you need to migrate to a new O365 tenant with a shorter tenant name. There is an open ticket on User Voice suggesting we should be able to rename our tenant if you help vote up it may become a priority. No support for custom domains on private site collections.
Other option is to build an Azure Website on a custom domain that can be used as a landing page redirecting users to the long URL site collections (or internal infrastructure).
Hope this helps!
Matt
