How Do I Add an Email Address to an Existing Domain Within Windows Live?

Add email addresses to domains within Windows Live using these steps.

The Windows Live Admin Center is a tool for businesses and web developers that allows you to make Windows Live/Hotmail the email provider for a domain that you have registered. This removes some of the work associated with administering an email server, and also allows your users to use the familiar Hotmail interface. Add an email address to a domain using the Windows Live Admin Center to provide email access to a new user.

Instructions

1. Browse to the Windows Live Admin Center website (see Resources section) and log in. You will be taken to a list of all of the domains that you have registered under that Windows Live ID. Click the one that you would like to modify.

2. Click the "Add" link under "Member Accounts."

3. Type the account name and password. Optionally, place a check in the box labeled "Require password change at first login." This allows you to create the account using a generic password, which the user will be prompted to change upon logging in to the account.

4. Click "OK" to create the account.
