I have tried this and I continue to get the error below? I have about 700 domains to query so it would be huge to get this resolved.

Resolve-DnsName : beyeconnections.org : DNS name contains an invalid character
At line:1 char:44
+ $domains = @(Get-Content domainlist.txt) |Resolve-DnsName -Type MX -Server 8.8. …
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (beyeconnections.org :String) [Resolve-DnsName], Win32Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DNS_ERROR_INVALID_NAME_CHAR,Microsoft.DnsClient.Commands.ResolveDnsName

Thank you for the free videos. It helps me a lot. I can now perform send and receive email externally but selected domain only (yahoo, outlook live). When I am trying to send email using my test lab to my gmail account, i am receiving undeliverable email rejected by mx.google.com but I can receive email from gmail. Only outgoing email is the issues. I used dynamic IP (dyndns) and our domain hosted by Ipage.
Meaning, do i need to request to google to allow our IP/Domain? or maybe the issues because of our dynamic IP? Not so sure exactly how to solve this issues. Hope you could help me in this regard. Thank you.

Thank you for your response. Sorry for the confusion. This morning, our domain provider created and pointed already the MX record and route to our local IP.

But before that, Is there anything i need to do in terms of configuration in the router so i can work the email externally? Right now, we are using the trial version of exchange license. Before we purchase the license we would like to execute first in the test environment. Do i need to purchase the license of exchange 2013 to be able to work in external email?

Also, I am not so sure if my DNS in local server is working perfectly but our exchange (test environment) is working fine but internally only. If you have any guidelines, free videos for exch 2013 that would really help a lot on my test server. Thank you so much for your kindness.

I checked your domain with mxtoolbox.com and it reports that there is an MX record for your domain. I don’t understand the rest of your question.

I am seeking your help please. I just build a test environment of our exchange server. I used to install Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 in one typical server. I did configure local domain and dns and other pre-req. Now, Exchange is working already locally. Tried also to add the outlook client thru VPN connection and working fine. Further, to be able for us to work with internet and receive email from another domain name, we purchase a domain name in Ipage.com to point the MX in our local Server. They are asking my MX record locally in the server but i did not add any mx record. tried to check thru powershell using this command “Resolve-DnsName -Name almoosatrd.com -type MX | ft -auto” and it shows “almoosatrd.com SOA 3600 Authority exch13.almoosatrd.com hostmaster.almoosatrd.com 37”. is this my MX record? what are the things that i need to do to be able for me to complete the test environment of my exchange server? your responce in this regard is highly appreciated. thank you so much for your help.

$domains = .domains.txt

Should be

$domains = Get-Content .domains.txt
