It's been 5 years and there is nothing about this domain on official microsoft documentation websites. Better yet, I've started seeing this coming not from office, but from Windows Search. Here's a screenshot from ESET Protect report from one of our computers.
Peter86PLIn my case I get CAPI2 certificate errors and event viewer, which is how I found this domain, and one of the errors I regularly get lists the url *.footprintdns.com and the process associated with it it lsass.exe... I do not have even have office or outlook installed on this pc. Microsoft please give us an update!
