In order to set up an Office 365 account with your LinkU Systems website you will need to do the following:

First you will need to Add and verify a domain name in your Office 365 account.

To add a custom domain name to Office 365, use the Add domain wizard.

A link to doing so will be posted in the help section of your Office 365 account, if not here is a link to doing so:

In the Office 365 Admin page, in the left pane, click Domains.

1. Click the domain name that you want to set up, and then click the DNS settings tab. The DNS settings page lists the DNS records for your Office 365 service.

2. You will then be presented with a TXT record that can be used to verify your domain name. Copy that record and submit it in a support request to LinkU Systems Technical Support, so it can be added to your DNS records.

Once Technical Support adds the record to your DNS, you will receive a notification stating the record has been added. You will now be able to click the verify domain button.

Now that your domain has been verified, you are able to access your MX Records and send them in to LinkU Systems Technical Support, so they can be added to your DNS.

1. On the Office 365 Admin page, in the left pane, click Domains.

2. You will see the MX records for your domain. Copy those records and paste them into a support request to LinkU Technical Support team.

After your new MX records have been added, your new Office 365 email accounts should be working.
