Problems setting up SSO between Microsoft 365 and GSuite

[fiza]

First time I am setting anything up for students\staff in Microsoft 365. I have created a number of accounts but how do I get the info out to users and what is the initial password they need to use? Do I set that?

We are primarily a Google School and use Gmail so I have used their Google email addresses as their user names. If I do a "reset password" for the user in the admin portal will this send them an email with details?

Have you set up SSO?

If so, all you would need is the account to exist with the same email address in both, and then Google/SSO would handle matching up the accounts.

No SSO unfortunately. Also Microsoft 365 is only for a small subset of users.

Worth a look. It is free.

Stepping through the instructions I have got to Step 3 where I need to enter values under the Set-MsolDomainAuthentication command.

I enter the domain name (which is the same in both MS and Google) and then get asked for "Authentication" where I enter "federated" as instructed but then get an error

 

"You cannot remove this domain as the default domain without replacing it with another default domain"

 

Confused

 

Any ideas?
