server domain problem

Ish · 10 Feb 2014 at 21:09

Hi

I have 2008 R2 server and the domain is abc.org

The problem I am having is when I try and access the website abc.org from the server or any of the domain machines they can't find the website. The website is externally hosted. I can't even ping the website.

The website works fine on any non domain machines.

How do I fix this? I'm guessing it's some sort of DNS issue as my domain is abc.org

Do I need to create the A record on the 2008 R2 server? How do I do this?

abc.org (which is just an example) but our real domain is our own domain name and DNS records are already setup on the external host.

Ok, I have got the website working now by adding the DNS records on to the server but the only thing I can't get working is the exchange 365 accounts. Normally I can just put the email address and password in to Outlook 2010 and it will auto setup. I have copied over the Exchange 365 DNS records to the 2008 server but Outlook 2010 won't setup the email accounts.

You need to add the autodiscover CNAME record to point to autodiscover.outlook.com in your DNS zone.

This record is already setup

1) burn down the office
2) install new domain abc.local
3) problems solved

As there is only one client added to the domain yet it wouldn't be too much of a problem to install a new domain if I can't get it working as it is.
