How do I set up my domain for Microsoft 365?

To setup Microsoft 365, you would need to update your DNS records to point to Microsoft servers as per the hostnames provided by Microsoft.

Login to WHM/cPanel and click "Edit DNS Zone"/"Advanced DNS Editor" and create new records as per the example below:

example.co.nz.             300       MX    0                   example-co-nz.mail.eo.outlook.com.
example.co.nz.             3600     TXT                        MS=ms000000
autodiscover                   3600     CNAME                   autodiscover.outlook.com.
example.co.nz.             3600     TXT                        "v=spf1 include:outlook.com ~all"
_sip._tls                         3600    SRV   100 1 443      sipdir.online.lync.com.
_sipfederationtls._tcp       3600    SRV   100 1 5061    sipfed.online.lync.com.
sip                                 3600    CNAME                   sipdir.online.lync.com.
lyncdiscover                    3600    CNAME                   webdir.online.lync.com. 



*ms000000 - value provided by Microsoft
