I have M365 Family and a domain name not on GoDaddy

What DNS entries do I need make to get M365 Family to verify my domain? It looks like I would need a unique id for my instance, but I am unsure how to get it.

Thus, What DNS entries do I need make to get M365 Family to verify my non-godaddy domain?

    I can only provide the information applicable to the question as outlined by Microsoft.

    To move your domain over to an Exchange based server without changing domain registrars would require subscribing to a hosted Exchange account but it's not possible with a Microsoft 365 consumer subscription

    As mentioned - to assign a personal domain using Microsoft 365 requires that the domain is registered with Godaddy. It just requires moving the domain from your current registrar to Godaddy and then it will get automatically configured using the steps in

    Hello puppydawgy

    Hi, I'm Karl and will be happy to help you today.

    Unfortunately, the domain needs to be registered with GoDaddy to be added to MS 365 as a personal domain. That is not optional.
