Initial Domain Verification

After you purchase the Office 365 application, your existing domains and domains purchased along with the application are automatically added to your Office 365 organization. Also, the Exchange Online and Lync Online services are automatically enabled for these domains.

Notes:

1. It depends on your service provider whether domains are automatically added to Office 365 organizations.

2. Up to 10 domains can be added automatically to your Office 365 organization. If your account has more domains, you can manually add the remaining domains to your Office 365 organization.

3. Domains already having MX DNS records are not added automatically to Office 365 organizations.

Then, you must perform the verification of the domains added to your Office 365 organization:

Verifying Registered/Transferred Domains

To verify a registered/transferred domain, perform the following actions:

  1. In Customer Control Panel, go to Office 365 > Domains.
  2. In the domain list, click Verify for the required domain.

Verifying Domains 'Registered Elsewhere'

To verify a domain registered elsewhere, perform the following actions:

  1. In Customer Control Panel, go to Office 365 > Domains.
  2. Click on the required domain.
  3. Write down all the DNS records provided in the Domain Records area. In the corresponding domain management interface, create these DNS records in the appropriate DNS zone.
  4. In Customer Control Panel, go to Office 365 > Domains.
  5. In the domain list, click Verify for the required domain.
