Verification of domain ownership

Office 365 needs to verify if you are the domain owner. There are two ways doing that:

We recommend the TXT record as that's the preferred option of Microsoft.

Please login to your Microsoft Office 365 admin center
Choose Setup > Domains
On the Domains page, choose your domain, then choose Start setup. You'll go back to the domains setup wizard to see the specific value you need to add
On the Verify domain page, choose Add a TXT record instead, then choose Next
Copy the TXT value shown. It looks like this: MS=msXXXXXXXX

Login to your Moniker customer account
From your My Domains list click on the domain you would like to configure
At the bottom of the page click the blue Edit button (root domain)
From the pop-up under the TXT section
Enter the before copied TXT record like this: MS=msXXXXXXXX
Click the small Add button to enter the next TXT record: v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

From your My Domains list click on the domain you would like to configure
At the bottom of the page click the blue Edit button (root domain)
From the pop-up under the Mail settings section
Select Mail Exchanger (MX record)
Enter the following MX record with a priority of 0 (left box):
<MX token>.mail.protection.outlook.com in the right box (where <MX token> is a value like msxxxxxxx)

In order to create a sub-domain with a CNAME please do the following:

From your My Domains list click on the domain you would like to configure
Check the table below
Enter the left-side value into the Create new Subdomain section
Click Create subdomain
Copy the corresponding right-side value from the table below
From the pop-up select CNAME and enter the right-side value (paste with mouse or ctrl-v)
Save
Do the same for the rest of the table

To add the SRV records, please fo the following:
