Help! Need to verify DNS for use of Office 365 ASAP. WordPress not responding.
-
Greetings!
I need to verify ownership of plumgoldsf.com for use with Office 365.
At my DNS hosting provider, please create a TXT or MX record for my domain using the following information:
To create a TXT record:
Alias or host name Destination or points to address TTL
plumgoldsf.com MS=ms67006135 1 HourTo create an MX record:
Alias or host name Destination or points to address TTL
plumgoldsf.com ms67006135.msv1.invalid 1 HourPlease let me know when you’ve created the record. Office 365 will use it to verify that I own the domain.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, thank you, timethief. I guess the ASAP is obvious. Never heard back from WP about same topic posted over a week ago. Feeling helpless. Eagerly awaiting a resolution so I can link Office 360 to my new CRM. Thank you!

Your other posting was overlooked, sorry, sometimes that happens, I went back and also flagged that one for you – so you are at the top of the heap – but please don’t post in the other thread or you will loose your place in line

Sorry for the delay. I see you’ve already added the MX record at https://plumgoldsf.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=plumgoldsf.com . Is everything working for you now?
Looking forward to your reply.

I’m not really sure. I generated a DNS on the link that you sent. But I’m concerned that it’s just for GoogleApps. I need this record to link to Outlook not google. Not sure if I messed something up. Outlook hasn’t recognized the record yet (they say it may take 72 hours). Does this MX record look right to you for Outlook compatibility? Thank you
CNAME googleffffff12345 google.com.
MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
TXT v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all -

Now I see what I’ve done. You sent me the link to the MX record (I don’t know who generated this– it wasn’t me!) Then, on that page I generated a DNS record for Google Apps by accident and “Saved.” So it canceled out the previous one. Yikes. How do I go back to the original MX record you sent me? Sorry, I am completely ignorant of these things and doing my best : / -
Howdy,
On the same page you were at— https://plumgoldsf.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=plumgoldsf.com —you can add it there.
I went ahead and added it for you. It can take a short bit of time for the change to be effective throughout the Internet, but it should verify for you with Office 365 now.
Cheers!

Hi,
Your domain is set to use the MX records that you included originally. If you aren’t receiving e-mails, then there are additional/different records that need to be set that need to be provided by Office 365.
Looking through Office 365 documentation, this link appears to provide information on where to find the records that are needed:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/gather-the-information-you-need-to-create-office-365-dns-records-HA104028359.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA103479204You can provide them to me or add them via your Store->Domains link at https://plumgoldsf.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=plumgoldsf.com
Thanks.

this is what they need to know on the Office 365 end:
“Greetings!
I’m using Office 365 for email and I want to make sure that the http://www.plumgoldsf.com website that you host for me continues to work and people can still get to it after I change my DNS name server records for Office 365. Please let me know the IP address for my website. If the IP address isn’t static, please let me know the fully qualified domain name where the website is hosted instead. I will use the info to create the necessary DNS records in Office 365 to point to my site.”

Ideally, you will keep the DNS nameservers pointed to WordPress.com and add the MX records and other DNS records needed for e-mail.
At WordPress.com, there isn’t one IP address for your site. We have your site on servers at datacenters across the country to ensure maximum uptime and quickest site load possible. We change these as needed when bringing on new datacenters/servers and changing other things internally.
I’ll e-mail you the IP addresses to add currently, though, please note that they will change in time and could result in suboptimal performance, or even your site not working at all.
I strongly suggest having the MX records set on WordPress.com to avoid this.
Other users have had DNS records provided to them from Office 365 in a format like, with the XXX and ### being unique values to your account:
CNAME autodiscover autodiscover.outlook.com.
MX 0 XXXXXXXX-com.mail.eo.outlook.com.
TXT <MS=ms#######>
TXT v=spf1 include:outlook.com ~all
CNAME lyncdiscover webdir.online.lync.com.
CNAME sip sipdir.online.lync.com.
SRV _sip._tls 100 1 443 sipdir.online.lync.com.
SRV _sipfederationtls._tcp 100 1 5061 sipfed.online.lync.com.Thanks.

Okay so Office 365 only gives space for one IP address.
So how do we set our MX records on WordPress? Office is not responding to us so I’m not sure how we will get our DNS records from them.
