DeploymentPro @Destination Domain Name
We're migrating GSuite to Office 365 using the User Migration Bundle Package. Gsuite is currently setup with companydomainname.com and I've setup the O365 tenant as companydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. During the DeploymentPro Configuration the system is requesting the @DestinationDomainName and my inclination is to use the current onmicrosoft.com domian address because in the destination endpoint I do not have the vanity domain described anywhere at this point.
If my inclination is correct, do I proceed with the Deployment Pro configuration and let everything sort itself out when I move the MX record. Or
Should I add in the vanity domain now to the Office 365 tenant as an alias and just allow it to lie dormant until I can make the MX record switch. I'm a little confused at this point and can't seem to locate what I'm asking in any other documentation.
Thanks

Hello Ross,
To provide you an answer to Jeff's question above, since the mail systems are different the vanity domain can exist on both systems at the same time and to that end should be added to the destination tenant before cutting over the Outlook profiles. The most important thing to take into account with DeploymentPro is the users destination UPN. That UPN should be the final result you wish to have for the user in terms of what they are signing in with.
For your situation, I would suggest adding the domain to the tenant, and when you are ready for the users to start using their destination mailboxes, confirm the UPNs for the users are correct in the DeploymentPro project, and run the cutovers at that time.
