Azure AD connect with existing O365 user accounts
Hi tantonyrei,
The TXT record is only for the domain verification in O365, but that doesn't mean that the domain will work with mailflow.
You'll need to modify the MX, CNAME, etc... Records at the NS.
Once you add the domain, ( after the TXT record ), you'll see a screen with all the required records for email and other services.
Correct, I understand TXT record is only for the initial domain verification and once the domain is verified, we can remove the TXT record from DNS.
Yes, I saw the screen after adding domain to modify the MX, CNAME etc, but I wasn't sure what to select there, so I selected 'skip this option', could that be what caused the whole issue? Sorry I'm new to O365, so I don't understand what does that have to do with user's Outlook prompting for passwords. Our exchange server is on premise 2013.
Oh sorry, tantonyrei!
My reply was based for a 100% cloud environment. My bad.
Did you already setup the exchange hybrid? Which kind?
If your domain is already working with the onprem environment and you setup the hybrid configuration correctly, should work perfectly.
Let me share with you some articles:

And here you can test the connectivity in order to see if something is wrong:

- I need to look into exchange hybrid then. Because I have my on premise Exchange server 2013, plus we have the owa.ridgeeng.com so users can access their emails outside of company network.
- Since my over all goal is to migrate users from on premise Exchanger 2013 to Exchange online, do I have to use hybrid? I was going to use CodeTwo software for the migration.
