How To Configure Microsoft Office 365?

Greetings Everyone!

What is Important when we are configuring Office 365 for enterprises or businesses?

First of all, we need a Microsoft office 365 subscription with admin Credentials,

When we subscribe to Microsoft Office 365 service, Microsoft provides admin credentials to us like

Username: xyz@domain.onmicrosoft.com

Password: xyW@#123axsdT

Login Using these credentials to the Microsoft Office 365 admin console from here you need to add your domain to start service on your own,

When you are adding a domain to your Microsoft Office 365 please take care of the following points :

• MX Records
• CNAME Records
• TXT Records

These three files you will get from Microsoft Office 365 you need to add these records over where you have hosted your website or from the domain provider.

MX Records :

A mail exchanger record (MX record) specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name. It is a resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS). It is possible to configure several MX records, typically pointing to an array of mail servers for load balancing and redundancy.

CNAME Records

A Canonical Name or CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps an alias name to a true or canonical domain name. CNAME records are typically used to map a subdomain such as www or mail to the domain hosting that subdomain's content.

TXT Records

TXT records are a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record that contains text information for sources outside of your domain. You add these records to your domain settings. You can use TXT records for various purposes. Google uses them to verify domain ownership and to ensure email security.

With just these simple records you can start your Microsoft Office 365 Service.
