You need to

  1. create 2 DNS CNAME records
  2. create 2 Domain Aliases in Marketo Admin » Integration » Landing Pages » Rules

The CNAME records will be

info.onsembleintranet.com. 86400 IN CNAME passageways.mktoweb.com. info.onboardmeetings.com. 86400 IN CNAME passageways.mktoweb.com.

where 86400 is the Time-To-Live (TTL) or caching lifetime of the DNS record. 86400 seconds = 1 day.

 

Note — because so many people get the terms wrong — the left-hand-side of a CNAME record is the Alias, not the CNAME. So info.onsembleintranet.com is not the CNAME. The CNAME is the right-hand-side, passageways.mktoweb.com.

Thank you so much, that worked!! One more thing - 

I am trying to add a new branded domain but keep getting the error "no cname error".

 

My IT team created the CNAME record in front of me and is pointing correctly to the right tracking link.
I also got them to create a new alias "visit" and used that for branded domain "visit.example.com" but even that is giving an error

 

What was the issue at your end and How did you resolve it at your end? any help on this will be very much appreciated!

You'd have to provide the real domain/s you're using so I can look them up.

Don't know what you're referring to here? No issues to resolve on my side.
