Exploring Exchange Online: Assign your own domain

Today’s exploration of Office 365 took me to Exchange Online. One thing one for sure wants is to use once own domain(s). And the twist is that we host all our domains on our own DNS servers.
Assigning a domain that you already own, turns out to be dead easy.
I just logged into the portal at portal.microsoftonline.com and selected the Domains option in the left-hand menu.
Then adding the domain and select to activate it for Exchange Online and Lync Online.  Once that was done i was presented with the DNS-records to add to the DNS-zone.

I entered the records and waited for 30 minutes. It was stated that it could take up to 72 hours but who can wait for that long to check?
Then I logged into the Exchange Online web mail and tested to send email and also tested to send a mail to that mailbox.
Bingo all done! Super easy.
Next step will be to explore migrating mailboxes. Will be fun J
