Unable to logon

Dear Laura Hernandez

Thank you for sharing your issue.

From your description, you are trying to use your custom domain email (@eluxerealty.com) with your Microsoft 365 trial for email hosting, but you are unable to sign in because this email is currently associated with a personal Microsoft account.

The sign-in issue may be related to one of the following scenarios:

Account overlap Your email address (@eluxerealty.com) may already be associated with a personal Microsoft account. In such cases, conflicts can occur when attempting to sign in to Microsoft 365 services using the same email address. Browser session conflict If your personal and work accounts are being used within the same browser session (or without separate browser profiles), the browser may automatically apply saved credentials. This can lead to unexpected sign-in behavior or prevent access to the intended account.

To reduce potential conflicts between your personal Microsoft account and your Microsoft 365 work or school account, please try the following steps:

1/ Sign in using an Incognito/ Private browsing session Using a private browsing window ensures that no existing sessions, cached credentials, or stored cookies from your personal account interfere with the sign-in process.

Open a new Private window (Microsoft Edge).

Navigate to: https://www.office.com or https://admin.microsoft.com Enter your work email address (@eluxerealty.com) and proceed with sign-in.

2/ Create and use a separate browser profile (recommended for Microsoft Edge) Setting up a dedicated browser profile helps isolate your work account from your personal account, preventing automatic sign-in conflicts.

Open Microsoft Edge > Click the profile icon in the top-right corner Select “Set up a new profile”

Choose Work or school

Then follow the on-screen instructions to set up and sign in using the new browser profile. Within this profile, go to https://www.office.com and attempt to sign in again.

3/ Update the personal Microsoft account alias

Sign in to your personal Microsoft account Go to Your Info > Edit account info

Add a new email alias (for example, an @outlook.com address)

Set the new alias as primary

Remove the custom domain email (e.g., @eluxerealty.com) from the personal account

This will make the domain email available for exclusive use with your Microsoft 365 business account.

The email domain eluxerealty.com is hosted in Azure AD/Microsoft Entra, so the address is treated as a work/school identity and cannot be used as a Microsoft “Personal” account for sign-in.

To use Microsoft 365 as email hosting for that domain and sign in successfully:

1. Treat the address as a work/school account
   • When signing in to Microsoft 365, always choose the Work or school account option (not Personal/Microsoft account) if prompted.
2. Make sure the domain is set up in a Microsoft 365 tenant
   • The domain (eluxerealty.com) must be added and verified in a Microsoft 365 tenant where the trial is running.
   • The user account (e.g., the mailbox for ******@eluxerealty.com) must be created there and assigned a Microsoft 365 license with Exchange Online.
3. If the address is already tied to a personal account and blocking usage
   • A domain that is hosted in Azure cannot be newly linked to a Personal Microsoft account. Only older, grandfathered links are allowed.
   • To use the address for business email hosting, configure it only as a work/school account in Microsoft 365 and stop trying to use it as a Personal account.
4. If sign-in still fails
   • Sign out of all Microsoft sessions in the browser.
   • Open a private/incognito window and go to the Microsoft 365 portal.
   • Sign in using the Work or school account associated with the trial tenant and the eluxerealty.com address.
   • If the account is correctly provisioned but sign-in still fails, contact Microsoft support from another account and explain that the domain is an Azure-hosted work/school domain that must not be treated as a Personal account.

This will allow the domain to function as business email hosting under Microsoft 365 rather than as a personal Microsoft account identity.
