In your DNS zone editor add a SRV record with the following information:

  • Service _autodiscover

  • Protocol _tcp

  • Name   Enter one of the following values:

    • Enter @ if your registered domain is your cloud-based domain. For example, if your registered domain is companyABC.com  enter @.

  • Priority 0  (or as per your design)

  • Weight 0  (or as per your design)

  • Port 443

  • Target autodiscover.canadawidehostingservices.ca 

  • TTL   Verify that an appropriate TTL is selected, 1 hour is a common default.  (If you are approaching a migration, this should be decremented to allow for quicker cutover)

Change <yourdomain> to your full domain name. For example if your domain name is companyabc.com. The CNAME would be:

CNAME webmail.companyABC.com redirect.canadawidehostingservices.ca
