Adding TXT and MX record for outlook

[Jobinson]

Step 1: Adding TXT record for Verification

Host Name: @
Record Type: TXT
Address: to be supplied by client in format MS=ms123456789
Update client that TXT record has been added, and ask them to complete domain ownership verification



Step 2: Configuring DNS

Record Type: MX
Priority: Set the priority of the MX record to the highest value available, which is typically 0
Host Name: @
Address: to be supplied by client in format example-com01i.mail.protection.outlook.com

Record Type: CNAME
Hostname: autodiscover
Address: autodiscover.outlook.com

Record Type: CNAME
Hostname: sip
Address: sipdir.online.lync.com

Record Type: CNAME
Hostname: lyncdiscover
Address: webdir.online.lync.com

Record Type: CNAME
Hostname: msoid
Address: clientconfig.microsoftonline-p.net

Record Type: TXT
Hostname: @
Value: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”

Record Type: SRV
Hostname: _sip._tls
Priority: 100
Weight: 1
Port: 443

Record Type: SRV
Hostname: _sipfederationtls._tcp
Priority: 100

For SRV, please note that cPanel has no distant field for Protocol, so the value needs to be added to the Hostname as “_sip._tls”
