azure dns nameserver not propagating

Mike Rosen 0

Can't register a domain in Azure. Added TXT / MX records, but only resolves if I look specifically at Azure dns:

domain verification fails: "Could not find DNS records"

nslookup -type=TXT microzen.solutions

"server failed"

but this works:

nslookup -type=TXT microzen.solutions ns1-37.azure-dns.com.

@Mike Rosen ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I see TP has addressed your queries.

Azure DNS is not a registrar, it only provides DNS Management capabilities.

To use it, you must delegate the Zone to Azure.

This is nothing but updating the Name servers in the actual domain registrar.

If it's AWS, you can follow the steps mentioned by TP.

If it's some other registrar, you can follow their official docs on updating the Name servers.

Post updating, you should be able to see the TXT / MX records propogating.

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil

Hi,

If you want to use Azure DNS to resolve queries for your public domain, you need to update the list of DNS servers for your domain at your domain registrar. You would change them to be the four Azure DNS servers that are shown in the Azure portal. Below are instructions for changing in Amazon route 53, which appears to be your registrar:

Updating name servers to use another registrar

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-register-other-dns-service.html

Once you make the above change at your domain registrar, there will be a delay for the change to propagate and then your nslookup will succeed.

Alternatively you could just create/modify DNS records on your domain registrar's servers and then you wouldn't need to use Azure DNS.

Thanks.

@Mike Rosen Any update? I just checked and it doesn't appear you have updated the list of name servers or otherwise fixed the issue. Please reply back if you need assistance.

@Mike Rosen I see you have added the DNS records to your Amazon Route 53 servers. I checked and necessary records (MX, TXT) are resolving properly.
