1. To get started, go to your domains page in Onamae by using this link. If necessary, select Domain Navi Login. You'll be prompted to log on.

   

2. Point to Domain settings, and then choose DNS related function settings.

   

3. Select the radio button next to the domain, and then choose Next.

   

4. Next to Use DNS record settings, choose Set up.

   Host name	Type	TTL	Value (Points to address or value)
   (leave blank)	TXT	3600 (seconds)	MS=msXXXXXXXX Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table in Office 365. How do I find this?
