And this demonstration, we're going to look at the on Microsoft Auto Home Account.
Now, what you're going to see here is a variety of domains.
And I just happened to be in the Admon center.
We've not gone through that in terms of a step by step training yet.
So how I got here will come a little bit later.
What I want to point out is we have all of these network.
Now, the first one chosen is standard at work done on Microsoft dot com.
And you'll see that it's a healthy domain.
We've get DNS systems, we've got custom records.
We've got all this stuff that's going on about this domain.
The bottom line is, is this is the domain that I started with.
So in a previous domain, I had asked to set up something.
Do you know your name and your company?
And you're this and do that in.
The bottom line is what happens is everything is an alias to the on Microsoft dot com domain.
Now I only get e-mail on one of these domains and it does say incomplete setup.
Don't ever worry about that.
It's probably a step they want to be to do that I didn't want to do.
But the whole point is these domains you could set this one.
There's a default.
That's your ingoing, incoming and outgoing email.
But this might be something that I use for training, which, by the way, I do.
You'll see Sandra classroom all the time when I'm teaching these classes.
We have the default on Microsoft dot com domain.
I don't use it, but it's always behind the scenes and the e-mail addresses are alive in their aliases.
I found that everyone gets my company name wrong and they put it extra s on there.
So what did I do?
I bought the domain.
I've got to put in the DNS records so that if someone misspelled it, it still comes to me with SJP.
Dashi A..
This was the oldest domain like before I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I bought that domain.
I still own it.
I don't use it.
But there are old email clients where they might email that address.
So I keep it alive.
So the whole point here is when you're dealing with these domains, we always have the on Microsoft
dot com hiding behind the scenes.
If I was to go ahead and create a new user, one of the email addresses that I could choose as the on
Microsoft dot com, I typically would not.
But I can.
And before I get all these domains in there, it's really the only one that you have.
If you want to add a domain.
Then what you have to do is type in what is.
And you say use the Dumaine.
It automatically looks it up and knows that it's a network solutions, and we have step by step instructions
found on how to bring it in there.
So what it wants us to do is to actually manually verify ownership by adding one of these values.
Well, I can add those values super easy.
All I have to do is go to network solutions.
So here I am on Network Solutions and I've got the advanced DNS for Mayfield Corner LLC dot com.
It's got some default records that when you create a domain that basically all points to network solutions.
And what it wanted us to do is to actually put in what is known as a text record.
And those are the instructions that are on this back page right here.
You've got a text record at value and the time to live.
That's TTL.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to edit text record and I'm going to put in exactly what is asked
for.
Time to live.
Seventy two.
They have you.
Change it right there.
So all it needs to do is to see that particular record.
And I'm going to continue.
And I'm going to save those changes.
Now, when you see these changes, notice it says it may take 24 to 48 hours for DNS to propagate throughout
the Internet.
What that basically means is, you know, Network Solutions is the top of all the domain names and everyone's
got a copy of that.
So let's say you've got Comcast for Internet with Comcast has room DNS servers.
So you're going to ask something.
Comcast servers are going to try to answer it.
If they can't find the answer, they're going to go up one more level and one more level and one more
level until they get to something like a network solutions, the basic backbone of the Internet.
And I try to explain that non technically, for those of you who this might be new to, the bottom line
is for every server in the world to know that this domain just had a change, 28 to 48 hours.
But one of the reasons I like Network Solutions and GoDaddy is most of the time it happens a lot quicker,
if not instantaneous to that.
But that's all you have to do.
It wanted to prove that you had rights to the domain name.
So now I'm going to click back to the admin center and I'm going to hit Verify.
And notice here, it says, We didn't find the record for Mayfield Corner LLC.
Please check the values.
Plis allows it five to 10 minutes.
The bottom line is, that's all it is, is timing.
I just made these changes less than two minutes ago.
So it takes a while for that to just kind of propagate down.
But the whole point is when you put in your domain, you have to verify it.
You've got to know your domain where you bought it.
Verify it.
If I kept hitting try again, it would eventually go right through.
We can posit wait for that to go through if we need to.
And then you just essentially connect it to the 360 five console.
OK.
So here you'll see I just had verified two or three times that only took a couple of minutes.
That's the power of using a good registrar.
Notice here we can activate records.
So when I hit next.
It's going to tell us all about the DNS records that have to be added now.
DNS records, we cover a little bit in a couple of places throughout this course.
We can go ahead and close out of this and we'll come back to the DNS records later to really show what
you have to add and how you have to add it.
Again, it's different for every single registrar.
We just happen to have network solutions.
But for now, you'll see adding that domain into your tenants actually fairly easy.
It just requires a little bit of following instructions and knowing how to log into your registrar.
