I am have a couple domains that are using azure as the registrar and Azure DNS to host the zones. I have request from a customer to move these to a different registrar. When I go into the Azure portal, I don't seem to have any option under "App Service Domains" or the DNS zones themselves to unlock the domain for transfer.

I have read on a few places that there should be a link for "advanced dns management" and from there I can unlock the domain which will allow the transfer to be initiated from the new registrar (ie: GoDaddy). However, I don't have any such link.

I originally transferred these domains to azure from a different registrar a few years ago. I used a powershell script to do that. I am wondering if that is why I might not get the normal options as these resources were created a little differently.

Is there a PowerShell script to unlock the domain so I can do this transfer?

Thank you in advance!

I tried to check the Advanced Management Portal option and was able to find it in my environment as below:

Alternatively, try using Domain Manager (secureserver.net) as suggested in this Microsoft QnA by ajkuma-MSFT.

  • Make sure to have Administrator or Co-Admin role on your subscription.

Try unlocking the domain by selecting your domain-> Advanced settings like below:

If your domain is within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer, you cannot transfer the domain as mentioned in this blog By Yutang Lin.

If the issue still persists, please raise Azure Support Ticket for the same.

To Transfer DNS from Azure DNS to GoDaddy, please try the following:

  • Go to Advanced Management Portal.
  • Select the domain name you want to transfer.
  • Under Additional settings, select the Transfer option based on your requirement.
  • Select continue to transfer and enter the IPS tag for the new registrar and complete transfer.
  • Copy the authorization code and select My Domains.
  • Enter the authorization code for the domain name.
