The issue where is that either there is no field for Host or for Target

The host defaults to @, and the Target should be entered in the Hostname field.

Port: 443
Protocol: _tls
Name: @
Service: _sip
Priority: 100
Weight: 1
Target: sipdir.online.lync.com

It should be entered like this:

The same goes for the other one, see SRV record. Make sure you keep the trailing dot in the Target/Hostname field.

the first one (it is blank) is replaced for a “.

Why would you want to create a blank TXT record? I’m not sure it would serve any purpose.

and the second one is surrrounded by to ”

That’s fine, it’s how it should actually be.

Thanks for the answer. I’m not sure about the blank TXT record, the email they sent me had it. I’m removing it in case it was a mistake. I’ll let you know how it goes. Should TXT records end with a DOT too?
