This blog post shows you how you can verify your domain for Office 365. You can add your own domain to your Office 365 account. If your domain is hosted at Genotec, you can simply create the DNS records for your domain with the DNS editor Genotec provides in the Hosting Control Center.
Under Domain names, yourdomainname.com you can create a new TXT entry to verify your domain. For example:
After you have verified your Domain you have to add some other DNS Records for Exchange and Lync Online to work.
Here the DNS records for Exchange Online:
And here the DNS Records for Lync Online:
Remember to add the dot at the end of hostnames.
I hope this gives you an overview of how you can verify your domain for Office 365.

Thank You! ;)
Can I have conflict in this configuration with a TXT entry of spf1? My domain configuration is:
domain.com IN TXT “v=spf1 include:spf.domain a:smtp.domain ~all”
domain.com IN TXT “v=verifydomain MS=ms….”
Will it work?
You should not have any problems, you can have multiple TXT entries
Hi,
Thank you for this post.
But, I have a question about TXT entries.
In the comments above:
domain.com IN TXT “v=spf1 include:spf.domain a:smtp.domain ~all”
domain.com IN TXT “v=verifydomain MS=ms….”
I believe this entries have problem.
Because, I look like it is written in RFC4408.
“3.1.2. Multiple DNS Records
A domain name MUST NOT have multiple records that would cause an
authorization check to select more than one record. See Section 4.5
for the selection rules.”
Do you think about this?
