i am cnfused about this statement "Create MX Record for your Service Domain that points to : mail.outlook.com "

Where this MX record has to be created, and "service.domain.com" should this be NS record or host A on external DNS.

and what if we use tenant.onmicrosoft.com as target address then where do we create MX record. cuz ofcource we cant create it in onmicrosoft.com as MS owns it.

Not really clear about mail flow in this case... could you elaborate or point to some article which explains it.

almost everyone who i know is working on o365 has this dowubt and isnt able to provide me correct answer.

waiting for your reply.

Are ADFS and/or DirSync required to make this work? If not, what changes to your process are necessary to simply get on-prem Exchange 2010 to provide f/b to Lync online users with the Lync URI matching the Exchange SMTP addy?

Thanks

Hi Neil,

Tremendous piece!

Are ADFS 2.0 and Directory Synchronisation necessary to make a Lync Online user see free/busy from an on-premise Exchange 2010 server, or optional? If optional, do the steps you list above change much?

Thanks

Thank you for another great and useful post!

One question though: what are your thoughts about the possibility of using the Office 365 logon page to enter users’ wrong credentials multiple times in order to try and lock their AD account?

I know they are some ways of trying to prevent this like DoS prevention at the ISP level, for example, but with Integrated Authentication (for Lync Online), your ADFS Proxy has to accept connections from any IP address in the world (to allow users to use the service from home). So there’s not actually a way of preventing this, is there?

Thank you once again for the great post!

Best regards,

Nuno
