How does TXT record change affect O365 hybrid migration

Hello Experts,

How does TXT record affect O365 hybrid migration.
I am trying to run the HCW minimal version and getting a msg at the domain ownership part of the wizard. Attached screenshot.

1- We are running HCW to create to send/receive connectors
2- We want mail to flow to our on premise first the get redirected to the cloud once we start migration the mailboxes

How does the TXT configuration work and how does it affect the mail-flow?

thanks.

If I'm understanding the context of your question correctly, the only thing the TXT record is for is to verify domain ownership (i.e. you own the domain name and are in control of the DNS records). It has no effect on anything beyond that. Later on you could be required to change your MX record and SPF record according to your scenario.

TXT records don't do anything to impact mail flow or application functionality unless the application in question uses the TXT record you're adding or modifying. In this case, the TXT record of "MS=ms<ranom number>" only does anything with Office 365's Domain Validation tool. The underlying logic here is that if you have the ability to add a TXT record to a public domain that matches what MS is looking for, that serves as sufficient evidence that you do, in fact, own the domain and have the authority to use it for Office 365.
