Azure VPC not resolving O365 autodiscovery

 

O365 need to have a Autodicover.yourdomainname.com pointing to autodiscover.outlook.com when its come to autodiscovery configuration,

Here I’m going to highlight few things if you are facing and issue with configuring the outlook with 0365.

• Check whether you have added the correct CNAME record in your domain Cpannel and whether that is propagate correctly.
• To check the propagation, you can find some famous free web site from the Internet.
• Then by using Microsoft Tool, you can find where is the problem now and the resolution to solve that issue. Most of the time this will give you a hint to find a path to resolve the issue.
• if it says your computer is still not resolving DNS, then  you can try one of the following method to resolve that.

In your PC or the Server you can do below mentioned task to forward your Autodiscover traffic to “autodiscover.outlook.com “

1.If you know the IP address of  “autodiscover.outlook.com “ domain then add a host   entry in your PC saying that “Atodicover.yourdomainname.com”  traffic forward to that IP address which you have found.

2. If your PC or the server is in a domain environment, then add a CNAME in your DNS saying that for the “Autodicover.yourdomainname.com”  traffic forward to  “autodiscover.outlook.com “

Here you can find the steps for adding that in your DNS,

Go to DNS settings, Add a New Zone.

Select Primary zone in the next window,

Under that zone give your autodiscover address and the 0365 one.

Once that done that, go into CMD and check the DNS status.

Now you will able to resolve that O365 autodiscovery DNS issue.

How to remove Azure backup

Here I’m goin to show the steps to remove or disable the azure backup which is configured with Azure Virtual machine

You can go into  More and select Stop backup.

Then in next window it will ask to select whether you want to keep the backup data or remove option.

Here If you select to keep the backup data. then the storage consume charges will apply and you will be charge for that in the month end. Because of that make sure to delete the backups if you don’t want them.

Or else you  can say that under more Delete backup data.Then type the Serve name and hit enter.

It will delete the backup and now you will able to configure that with a different retention policy.

How to enable azure backup for Virtual Machine

Here I’m going to test the Microsoft Azure Backup for VM. Basically its a next next process and easy to configure.

If you want to use Azure backup for on-premise infrastructure below are the list of servers which is support by Azure backup,

 

Once you created a VM in Azure You can see the Backup configuration tab. If you created a backup job, then clicking on that will show you the status of the backup and the policy which used to setup the backup job.

If this is the first time you are creating a backup, then you can create a new vault and create a backup policy.

But If you have your own Vault created then you can assign this backup in to same vault which you have created created at an earlier date.

Here you can create the backup frequency and the retention period. assign them and click ok and then click Enable Backup to start the Job,

Then the backup status will say that Initial backup pending till the fist backup finish the job.

Hope this help you to get an idea about the Azure VM backup.

Here I have attached the pricing detail about the Azure backup and if you want more information you can refer Microsoft Pricing calculator. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/backup/
