Manage domains

This article shows you how to list your existing Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory domains, get information about them, and delete domains you no longer need.

You can query for more information about a specific domain, including its current state. This is especially useful when creating a new domain.

To get domain info:

Run the following command, replacing [DOMAIN-NAME] with the name of your domain (such as ad.mycompany.com):

The response is YAML describing the domain.
