A company plans to use Office 365 to provide email services for users.
You need to ensure that a custom domain name is used.
What should you do first?
A.
Add the custom domain name to Office 365 and then verify it.
B.
Verify the existing domain name.
C.
Create an MX record in DNS.
D.
Create a CNAME record in DNS.
Answer = A…. Add custom domain to O365 then verify it.
But to verify a domain you have to have registered record (TXT or MX)in DNS
I think the question implies that the custom domain is already in place?
Yes but you cannot add the TXT or MX record first, since you don’t know the verification string yet. You get that when you start adding the domain to Office365.
This is the truth and why the answer is A….. Cant update DNS records without the verification code to validate ownership when adding to O365.
Correct answer: A
Once you add custom domain in office 365, verification is required which can be done by creating a TXT recored in DNS. (Assumption is that you should already have purchased a domain)
Question stated:
A company PLANS to use Office 365 to provide email services for users
So there is no office 365 yet.
So first check if your domain name is routable?
Answer B
I didn’t find any reference to what you suggest,
The Option B says VERIFY the existing domain, even to do that you need office 365, it doesn’t say about routing.
The Answer is A
