### When I delete a Traffic Manager profile, what is the amount of time before the name of the profile is available for reuse?
8888

When you delete a Traffic Manager profile, the associated domain name is reserved for a period of time. Other Traffic Manager profiles in the same tenant can immediately reuse the name. However, a different Azure tenant is not able to use the same profile name until the reservation expires. This feature enables you to maintain authority over the namespaces that you deploy, eliminating concerns that the name might be taken by another tenant.

For example, if your Traffic Manager profile name is **label1**, then **label1.trafficmanager.net** is reserved for your tenant even if you delete the profile. Child namespaces, such as **xyz.label1** or **123.abc.label1** are also reserved. When the reservation expires, the name is made available to other tenants. The name associated with a disabled profile is reserved indefinitely. For questions about the length of time a name is reserved, contact your account representative.

When Real User Measurements is used with the measurement JavaScript provided, each page rendering results in six measurements being taken. These are then reported back to the Traffic Manager service. You are charged for this feature based on the number of measurements reported to Traffic Manager service. For example, if the user navigates away from your webpage while the measurements are being taken but before it was reported, those measurements aren't considered for billing purposes.

When you embed the measurement script to a web page, it is possible for others to see the script and your Real User Measurements (RUM) key.

The Traffic Manager name servers traverse the profile hierarchy internally when processing each DNS query. A DNS query to a parent profile can receive a DNS response with an endpoint from a child profile. A single CNAME record is used whether you're using a single profile or nested profiles. There's no need to create a CNAME record for each profile in the hierarchy.

> When managing child profiles under a parent profile in Azure Traffic Manager, an issue can occur if you disable and then enable two child profiles simultaneously. If there is a brief period when both endpoints are disabled, this can result in the parent profile entering a compromised state. To avoid this problem, use caution when making simultaneous changes to child profiles. Consider staggering the changes slightly to prevent unintended disruptions to your traffic management configuration.

### Why can't I add Azure Cloud Services Extended Support Endpoints to my Traffic Manager profile?
533+
534+
In order to add Azure Cloud Extended endpoints to a Traffic Manager profile, the resource group must have compatibility with the Azure Service Management (ASM) API. Profiles located in the older resource group must adhere to ASM API standards, which prohibit the inclusion of public IP address endpoints or endpoints from a different subscription than that of the profile. To resolve this, consider moving your Traffic Manager profile and associated resources to a new resource group compatible with the ASM API.
