To ensure that emails sent to your former domain are still delivered to your on-premises server during a transitional period after migrating your primary email to Google Workspace, you need to configure the MX (Mail Exchanger) records for the former domain to point to your on-premises email servers.

Here's why the other options are incorrect and why configuring MX records is the correct approach, based on the principles of email routing and domain management within Google Workspace:

A. Configure MX records for the former domain to point to your on-premises email servers.

MX records are DNS records that specify the mail servers responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain. 1 By configuring the MX records for your former domain to point to the IP addresses or hostnames of your on-premises email servers, you are instructing the internet's DNS system that any email addressed to users on your former domain should be routed to those specific servers. This ensures that mail for the former domain bypasses Google Workspace and continues to be delivered to your existing infrastructure.  

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: While the exact phrasing might vary across different Google Workspace support articles and documentation, the core concept of MX records and their role in email routing is fundamental to domain setup and management. The official Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on "Set up MX records for Google Workspace" (or similar titles) explicitly explains how MX records control where email for a domain is delivered. In this scenario, you are essentially managing the MX records for a domain that is not the primary Google Workspace domain to direct its mail flow.

B. Add the former domain as a secondary domain in your Google Workspace settings and verify the domain.

Adding a domain as a secondary domain within Google Workspace allows you to create separate user accounts with email addresses on that domain, all managed within your Google Workspace organization. This would mean that Google Workspace would handle the email for the former domain, which is the opposite of what you need in this scenario (you want the emails to go to your on-premises server).

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on "Add a domain or domain alias" clearly distinguishes between secondary domains and domain aliases and their respective functionalities. Secondary domains are for managing separate sets of users, not for routing mail to external servers.

C. Adjust the TTL (Time-to-Live) for the former domain to ensure a smooth transition.

TTL is the amount of time a DNS record is cached by resolving name servers. While adjusting TTL can be important when making DNS changes (like switching MX records to Google Workspace), it doesn't directly control where email is delivered. Lowering the TTL before making MXchanges to point to Google Workspace helps with a faster transition, but in this case, you are not pointing the former domain's mail to Google Workspace. Therefore, adjusting the TTL alone will not achieve the desired outcome.

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Information on TTL is typically found within the context of DNS management best practices in Google Workspace Admin Help, often related to domain verification or MX record changes to Google. It doesn't serve as a mechanism for routing mail to external, non-Google Workspace servers for a domain that isn't managed by Google Workspace for email.

D. Add the former domain as a domain alias for the primary domain.

Adding a domain as a domain alias means that emails sent to addresses on the alias domain will be delivered to the corresponding user accounts on your primary Google Workspace domain. This is useful when you want users to receive email at multiple domain names within your Google Workspace environment. It does not route email to an external, on-premises server.

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on "Add a domain or domain alias" clearly explains the functionality of domain aliases. It emphasizes that email sent to a domain alias is received by the users on the primary domain, not an external system.

Therefore, the only way to ensure emails sent to your former domain are still delivered to your on-premises server is by configuring the MX records for that former domain to point to your on-premises mail server.

When an internal user reports not receiving Google Calendar event invites, the most likely immediate cause to investigate on the recipient's end is their notification settings within Google Calendar. Users can customize their notification preferences, and it's possible they have turned off email notifications for new events.

Here's why option D is the most relevant first step and why the other options are less likely to be the primary cause of this specific issue:

D. Check whether the event recipient has turned off their email notifications for new events in their Calendar settings.

Google Calendar allows users to configure various notification settings, including whether they receive email notifications for new events, changes to events, reminders, etc. If the recipient has disabled email notifications for new events, they would not receive the invites in their inbox, even though the event might be correctly added to their Calendar.

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The official Google Calendar Help documentation for users, such as "Change notification settings," explains how users can customize their event notifications. This includes options to turn off email notifications for new events. While administrators don't directly manage individual user's notification settings, understanding these user-level controls is crucial for troubleshooting. An administrator might guide the user to check these settings.

A. Check whether the business hours are set up in the event recipient's Calendar settings.

Business hours in Google Calendar primarily affect meeting scheduling suggestions and how a user's availability is displayed to others. They do not directly prevent a user from receiving event invitations. Whether or not a recipient has configured their business hours will not stop the email notification for a new event from being sent (unless perhaps in very specific and unusual edge cases related to resource scheduling, which isn't indicated here).

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Calendar Help documentation on "Set your working hours and location" explains the purpose of business hours, which is related to availability and scheduling, not the receipt of invitations.

B. Check if Calendar service is turned off for the event creator.

If the Calendar service is turned off for the event creator, they would not be able to create or send any Calendar events in the first place. Since the user created and sent the invite (as mentioned by the recipient not receiving it), the Calendar service must be active for the creator.

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on "Turn Google Calendar on or off for users" explains how administrators can control access to the Calendar service. If the service is off for a user, they would not have Calendar functionality.

C. Check whether the Calendar event has more than 50 guests.

While there might be limitations on the number of guests that can be added to a single Calendar event, exceeding this limit typically results in an error message for the event creator during the invitation process, not a failure of the recipient to receive the invite. Even if there were such a limit affecting receipt (which is not a common documented issue for internal users within reasonable limits), it wouldn't be the first thing to check.

Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Google Calendar Help documentation might mention limits on the number of guests, but these limits usually pertain to the ability to add guests, send updates, or view responses, not a complete failure of delivery to some recipients within the organization.

Therefore, the most logical first step in troubleshooting why an internal recipient isn't receiving Calendar event invites is to have the recipient check their own Calendar notification settings to ensure that email notifications for new events are enabled.
