HOST | TYPE | TARGET |
@ | A | Reserved |
@ | www | Reserved |
entrepriseregistration | CNAME | entrepriseregistration.windows.net |
entrepriseenrollment | CNAME | entrepriseenrollment.manage.microsoft.com |
barracuda86363805732 | CNAME | ess.barracuda.com |
lyndiscover | CNAME | webdir.online.lync.com |
www | CNAME | d8myjuukarp1u.cloudfront.net |
autodiscover | CNAME | autodiscover.outlook.com |
sip | CNAME | sipdir.online.lync.com |
_sipfederationtls._tcp | SRV | sipfed.online.lync.com |
_sip._tls | SRV | sipdir.online.lync.com |
@ | TXT | MS=ms12345678 |
@ | TXT | v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all |
@ | Redirect | http://www.yourdomaine.com |
NOTE: Sometimes no TXT (MS=ms12345678) and no Redirect records are given.
IMPORTANT:
SRV records use the following format:
PORT PROTOCOL | NAME | SERVICE | PRIORITY | WEIGHT | TARGET |
443 _tls | @ | _sip | 100 | 1 | sipdir.online.lync.com |
5061 _tcp | @ | _sipfederationtls | 100 | 1 | sipfed.online.lync.com |

sip | CNAME | sipdir.online.lync.com | PRIORITY | WEIGHT | TARGET |
_sipfederationtls._tcp | SRV | sipfed.online.lync.com | 100 | 1 | 5061 |
_sip._tls | SRV | sipdir.online.lync.com | 100 | 1 | 443 |

0 | @ | groupemercini-com.mail.protection.outlook.com | 1 hour |
The MX récords set up will look like the example below:
