I am provisioning a domain for an email communication service. The DKIM status was at one point verified, and the DKIM2 took a while to verify. When it did, the DKIM status changed to fail. I went through the configuration menu again. After 24 hours, it was still verifying, so I cancelled, thinking to I would try the menu again. Now the status has been 'Cancelling' for more than 24 hours, so I'm not sure how to proceed. I did use the 'nslookup set q=TXT' command line, and it shows the DKIM record.

    Issue:
    Provision Communication Service DKIM 'stuck' will not verify or cancel

    Solution:
    The DKIM record was still 'cancelling' this morning. I ended up deleting the domain record and re-adding it. That worked.

    Delete and re- add was the only fix.
