What should be done with consumer user accounts created with a corporate domain name when onboarding into Cloud Identity?

Using the transfer tool for unmanaged user accounts is the appropriate action when onboarding into Cloud Identity with consumer user accounts created using a corporate domain name.

In many cases, organizations may have employees or clients who have previously created Google accounts that utilize the company's domain. Instead of starting from scratch and creating new accounts, which can lead to the loss of data and the need for users to re-establish their settings and contacts, the transfer tool allows for a seamless migration of these unmanaged accounts into the Cloud Identity environment.

This tool not only helps in consolidating accounts but also preserves user settings, data, and their overall account activity, minimizing disruptions during the onboarding process. It ensures that users can transition smoothly to the enterprise environment while maintaining access to any personal or professional data associated with their consumer accounts.

The other options do not address the preservation of account data or user continuity effectively. Ignoring the consumer accounts leads to fragmentation, deleting them can cause irreparable loss of user data, and merging them with existing enterprise accounts may complicate identity management and lead to inconsistencies.
