Summary
For greater domain and organization cohesion it is possible to setup a custom Outlook Web Access URL. This article will detail how to make that customization.
|
A custom Outlook Web Access URL is configured within DNS at the location of where the domain is hosted using an A record. A records can be created and/or modified with the adminstration tools through a domain provider. If the domain was registred through, or the name servers are pointed to ITSolutionsNow, the autodiscover record will be configured automatically via the ITSN services control panel. |
These are general configuration steps, and not necessairly specific to one hosting company, nor potentially applicable to all.
|
1. Access the administrative console for the domain. |
Go to the DNS provider's website, and locate the client acces portal. |
2. Locate the page to update the domain records. This is sometimes found under Advanced Settings. |
3. Add an A record. |
|
4. Save Changes. |
5. Test the A record. |
Expect some latency between adding the record, and the record resolving correctly. To test if the record has propogated, from a local computer ping webmail.mydomainname.com. If the ping returns 66.129.95.126, the record is correctly in place. |
