Problem Adding Domain to Windows Live for Mail Hosting

05. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
I am trying to set up a business email on Windows Live, it has instructed me to add the following MX record:

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: healthyprice.ca
  • MX server: 4e557f70e1e765419c5a3a67b27491.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)


I've done this and can see it is being served by DNS:

$ dig healthlyprice.ca MX @dns1.stabletransit.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> healthlyprice.ca MX @dns1.stabletransit.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 30561

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

;; WHEN: Tue Mar  4 20:53:38 2014
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 150

But when I click refresh it still doesn't let me continue the set up.  It just keeps saying "You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below."

I can't see what I have done wrong.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi there!

I have a domain www.mgippl.com. I need to configure outlook for this. I got the following details to modify in my MX Record :-

  • DNS record type: MX

  • MX server: 627d58eabf5bb048936cfde871037a.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)


and  i remove all my old mx records and create a new record as per the above detail, but TTl for my mx record is 7200 because my domain panel do not allow me to set it less than 7200. so the changes i made in my MX record as under :-


Name mgippl.com

Class IN

Type MX

Priority 20

Status Active

Value 627d58eabf5bb048936cfde871037a.pamx1.hotmail.com

TTL 7200


Creation Date 2013-10-29 21:41:01.006678


After making changes, while i am trying to refresh my outlook, it again ask me to Refresh, means it still shows me that the status is "Pending DNS configuration." Please help me to set outlook for my domain. www.mgippl.com

Domains.live.com DNS verification

I have added the two DNS records for walker.ca (TXT and the low priority MX record) but the admin console keeps showing "You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record".

 

I have verified the entries are correct and read the article on MX troubleshooting.  How do I resolve this issue?

Can’t prove ownership of domain

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I'm trying to set up Windows Live Custom Domain. I have added the DNS record provided with no issues at my host provider. I have checked and the MX record has fully propagated, however Windows Live Admin center is still saying it is pending DNS configuration for the domain. I have also created the TXT and SRV records as well.


The only thing I can do is click refresh, and I have deleted the MX record and recreated it several times.


The domain name is aspenleafcs.com


I continually receive that the domain is pending DNS configuration, but on that domain it also indicates that the service is Suspended!


Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

cannot manage new domain in domain admin to get mx details and activate account

I have created a new domain and a management email account domain is calvetpromo.com (At the time of setting this up I was never advised of the MX settings so I could add them to DNS)

When I log in using domains.live.com there is no option to manage the domains and I keep getting the "Call us overprotective..." message.

This is a new domain, new email address and DNS currently has no MX records.

So how do I manage the domain that does not show in the Domain admin Center, or access the email to verify it?

I am using my personal account to post this.

Any help greatly appreciated

Pending DNS Configuration Status

Hi Team,

 

I updated the DNS records on my registrar portal(MX/TXT/SRV/CNAME) i.e. net4india.com, but even after 24 hours it says pending DNS configuration.

 

I read through your article "How to fix the MX error" but all my efforts went futile.

 

Could you please help me resolve this issue? Details are given below:

 

Host: ignitedbrainz.com

 

Let me know, should there be any question.

 

Thank you.
