Map G Suite to Subdomain

Topic

New Reply

I currently have a test Microsoft 365 account I created mapped to a domain. I am considering also setting up a test G Suite account, but I’d like to map all of G Suite’s services (including the Gmail MX records) to a subdomain (so subdomain.mydomain.com). How would I go about doing that when creating the DNS records?

One reason why I’m looking at this approach is some schools I will be consulting with use Microsoft 365 for faculty and G Suite for students (faculty accounts being on a root domain and student accounts being on a student subdomain(, so I want to get a feel for setting up a test environment.

Thanks!

Sub domains must exist in your DNS and the authentication is a text record. The sub domain A record will point to the Google IP and the MX to the Google mail IP. You will also need a mail.subdomain with an SPF text record. There are variations, of course.
This is the same as using a root domain.

cheers, Paul

Great to know it’s that simple. Thanks a bunch. That should do what I need if I do set this up.
