🌐 Set Up Domain in Microsoft 365

To use Microsoft 365 with your own domain (like @yourcompany.com), you must verify ownership and configure DNS settings. This ensures your users can send and receive email through Microsoft Exchange and use all Microsoft services under your branded domain.

🛠 Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Go to admin.microsoft.com and log in as a Global Admin.
2. In the left panel, click Settings → Domains.
3. Click “Add Domain” and enter your domain (e.g., shivcloud.in).
4. Microsoft will show a TXT record to verify ownership. Copy it.
5. Login to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, BigRock, Cloudflare).
6. Add the provided TXT record to your DNS settings.
7. Wait a few minutes, then click “Verify” in Microsoft 365.
8. After verification, Microsoft will guide you to update MX, CNAME, and SPF records.

📄 Required DNS Records

❓ Common Issues & Fixes

• Verification fails? Wait 15–30 minutes and ensure no typos in the TXT record.
• Email not working? Check if MX records are correct and no other conflicting MX records exist.
• SPF fail? Ensure you only have one SPF TXT record.

“A properly configured domain ensures secure email delivery and full Microsoft 365 functionality.”
