Here are some notes related to Domain Name Management and Office 365.
You’ll need to create several DNS records, so review the online resource link below:
» Create DNS records for Office 365 using Windows-based DNS
If you’re using a domain name registered with DotPH (e.g., .com.ph, .ph), please note that you’ll need to contact DotPH Technical Support to help you create SRV records.
One alternative is to use Amazon Route 53, so that you can create the SRV records yourself. Otherwise, give DotPH 1 to 2 days to complete your SRV record request.
When it comes to SRVs, the protocol (e.g., _tls, _tcp) will be part of the subdomain name.
To add the SRV _sip (with protocol _tls) and point it to sipdir.online.lync.com, the subdomain will be _sip._tls
Please enter the subdomain in the box found on the left of your domain name in the Amazon Route 53 “Create Record Set” area.
In the Value box, please note that trailing period (.) after the domain name.
For example: 100 1 443 sipdir.online.lync.com. (there’s a period at the end).
Here’s a screenshot:
When setting CNAME entries in Amazon Route 53, there’s no trailing period at the end of the destination address.
Assuming your domain is example.com, create the CNAME for autodiscover.example.com by entering only autodiscover in the Name box (Edit Record Set area), and the following in the Value box:
autodiscover.outlook.com [Note that there’s no trailing period this time.]
Here’s a screenshot:
May this blog post help give you an easier time when setting up your Domain Name DNS entries to work with Office 365 (O365).
