I am requesting a manual release of the custom domain Removed PII This domain is currently associated with a legacy tenant that has been blocked due to inactivity (Error AADSTS5000225). Because the tenant is blocked and marked for deletion, I cannot sign in to remove the domain mapping, which is preventing me from verifying the domain in my new production environment.

Technical Details:

Domain to Release: Removed PII

Old Tenant ID: Removed PII

Error Code: interaction_required (AADSTS5000225)

Correlation ID: Removed PII

Timestamp: Removed PII

Requested Action: Please escalate this to the Data Protection Team to manually unbind/delete the custom domain Removed PII from the inactive tenant Removed PII . I am the owner of the DNS records for this domain and can provide TXT record verification upon request.
