domain name.

Note: This lab uses a standard Office 365 trial account, not a FastTrack pilot
extended tenant account. Also, you need to create an account with a unique name in
the form: ** Adatumyyxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com**. You can use your two primary initials
followed by a unique four-digit number. For example, Adatum ** AB1234**.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:

1. Create an Office 365 Enterprise E5 trial subscription and enable directory

synchronization
 2. Verify the health of services

Task 1: Create an Office 365 Enterprise E5 trial subscription and enable

the Incidents page.

Note: During Microsoft testing, on rare occasions Office 365 did not create the trial
