For Office 365 you actually have to change your nameservers over to Microsoft and they handle your DNS. The plus side of this is that Exchange Autoconfigure works, but the downside is that you have to use their UI for custom DNS records.
- thwarted 13y agoThat's terrible. Email Service Provider and DNS Service Provider should remain separate, not be required to be the same entity in order for the services to work. They'll get a lot of small businesses and home users, I bet, but I bet it'll be an uphill battle to get larger businesses and enterprises on this, especially if the domain is used for something other than just email.
- kijin 13y agoIf you're a large business or "enterprise", Microsoft will be happy to let you customize the system to your heart's content.

The other option is to use a third-party nameserver. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office-365-domains.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office-365-domain...
