cname and srv record for outlook live

[__co__]

Hello,

A client asks me if I can create a CNAME and SRV record to his domain for something called 'Outlook live'. I tried it but I cannot get it to work.

A CNAME record must be created with some sort of validation number in order to check domain ownership and a SRV record for instant message clients.

How can the SRV records be created in the DA DNS interface? Yes, the record can be created in the DNS interface but I miss all the settings:

Name
The host name or domain the SRV is linked to. For example, "server1." If you want to link the record to your domain, enter the @ symbol.
Service
The service name of this SRV record. For example, "_ldap", "_ftp", "_smtp".
Protocol
The protocol used for the service. For example, "_tcp" or "_udp".
Priority
The priority for the SRV record. For multiple records that have the same Name and Service, clients use the priority number to determine which Target to contact first.
Weight
The weight of the SRV record. For multiple records that have the same Name, Service, and Priority, clients use the weight number to determine which Target to contact first.
Port
The port of the service. For example, "80" or "21."
Target
The host name of the server that provides the service described by this record. For example, "ftp.coolexample.com." Please note that this host name must

What should be the syntax to get this right?

I entered: "_sipfederationtls._tcp" in the 'name' field but apparently this is not correct since it is not working.

Help is appreciated since I'm feeling a bit ashamed for my client that I cannot fix something like this quickly.

[edit] OK, got the CNAME fixed, that was easy. I forgot a trailing dot in the value.

[edit] Hmm, I may have fixed the SRV also. Apparantly the priority, weight and port settings must be added separated with a space in the 'value' field, followed by the destination host. I will wait for the response of my client in the morning.
