In my test lab tenancy avantlab.onmicrosoft.com I needed to convert a domain avantlab.com.au from using AD FS to PasswordSync. The AD FS infrastructure i had setup no longer existed and i needed to re-purpose the lab.
There is no way of achieving this using the Azure Portal that i could see - and i could not find any documentation online on how to do this.
To achieve this change you must connect to your Azure AD Tenancy via PowerShell with:
If we run a Get-MsolDomain we see that avantlab.com.au is in a federated state and redirecting me to a AD FS portal which no longer exists.
![]()
After you have enabled Password Sync in the Azure AD Connect tool and synchronised the on-premises accounts to AzureAD, you can then set avantlab.com.au back to a Managed domain.
To do this use the following command:
Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -DomainName avantlab.com.au -Authentication Managed
![]()
![]()
If you wait a few minutes, you will now notice signing into services will authenticate in Azure AD and you will no longer be redirected back to an AD FS portal.

We can now see that its in a managed state:
