Domain Analyser Updates & Data Refreshing

Domains in CIPP don’t always update instantly. This page explains how and when the Domain Analyser refreshes, why some domains might not appear, and what happens if you delete one.

Domain Visibility

Sometimes a domain is missing from the analyser even though it appears elsewhere in the dashboard. Common reasons include:

• Only verified Microsoft 365 domains are included.

• Certain service domains (for example *.microsoftonline.com, exclaimer.cloud, codetwo.online) are automatically excluded.

• If the tenant’s default domain was changed, the “All Tenants” view and the tenant-specific view may temporarily differ until the next scheduled run.

• Newly added domains only appear after the next nightly analysis or if you refresh manually.

Deleting & Restoring Domains

• Clicking Delete from analyser removes the domain from CIPP’s list, but it does not remove it from Microsoft 365.

• Deleted domains will reappear automatically during the nightly run (00:00 UTC).

• You can restore them immediately by clicking Run Analysis Now.

• If a domain was actually removed from Microsoft 365 or is no longer verified, it will not return.

Refreshing Results

Use Run Analysis Now if you want to refresh the analyser outside the normal daily cycle. This is useful for:

• Refreshing results after adding or verifying a domain.

• Repopulating a deleted domain without waiting 24 hours.

• Forcing an update if you suspect results are stale.

For most tenants, this is rarely needed. The nightly job keeps results up to date automatically.

Troubleshooting

• Domain missing after adding → Run Analysis Now or wait until midnight UTC.

• Domain missing in analyser but visible in dashboard → Often caused by default vs. initial domain mismatch; re-run analysis.

• Deleted domain not returning → Confirm the domain still exists and is verified in Microsoft 365.

• Analysis not updating → Check CIPP permissions (Domain.Read.All) and make sure both CIPP and CIPP-API are up to date.
