Thanks for all the help. The Dig command is now in my tool bag. Thank you Jared.

Confession time: 7.5 hrs into the 48 hr wait and hope, I discovered an issue.

The domain was wardmechanical.com.

Our isp, which we have a great relationship with (they are awesome) put in the initial DNS entry for me because we were working on the website (we have a guy for website stuff). I was sitting reading about DNS going over in my head what I could have done wrong. While starring at the DNS entry page it suddenly jumped out at me.

The zone was set up with wardmechancial.com

The I and C were transposed........ Wow........

So I did a FTFY and within seconds things started talking.

Ya live, ya learn, ya die......

Speaking of google..... We got nailed on this again. This time we knew what to do. Last time it was a "no its you" "its not me, its you" pissing contest.

Thank you. I am ready, I believe. It is just taking longer than I was expecting. Is there a better way to do this sort of thing? It seems like this is my only choice. I have all the records in place at the new name server. I appreciate your help.

Do the Name Server records over ride other records like the SOA records? I have changed the name server records for my godaddy domain which makes DNS unmanageable through their interface. I have the records present in on the hosted name server but I am getting no indication that traffic is being redirected. ???!!!

Ahhhhhh..... Much better..

Thanks!!

I have not seen one meme today..... I depend on my Mango Lassi memes to get through the day.

Here is what appears to be working.

Added newdomain.net to O365 accepted domains.
Added TXT record to godaddy.com dns record.
Created shared mailbox with newdomain.net in O365
Created Migration endpoint in O365
Created Migration batch on O365
Started batch.
Verified emails are populating shared mailbox.

Yeah, who is going to jump on that band wagon?

Is that a bandwagon or grenade?

There are about 6000 emails that i would like to pull into our system. (pull into our system may not be the correct term).

You say you're going to import them into 'our system' - are you already on O365? If so, you don't need to setup a new account on O365 at all assuming you're moving those users from the smaller HVAC company into your own account.

Yes, we are totally "assimilated" in office 365. And yes, we are taking over the domain and eventually moving it to our hosting service Bummer Hosting. I just need to suck out all the email history and deposit it in our O365 environment so the one employee we inherited can deal with any loose endings with billing and customer issues and emails.
