> If you create a custom domain name, take care with existing DNS namespaces. It's recommended to include a unique prefix for the domain name. For example, if your DNS root name is *contoso.com*, create an Azure AD DS managed domain with the custom domain name of *corp.contoso.com* or *ds.contoso.com*. In a hybrid environment with an on-premises AD DS environment, these prefixes may already be in use. Use a unique prefix for Azure AD DS.
