I'm running Exchange 2010 with Outlook clients. I have Autodiscover configured and working. However, when a new user uses the autodiscover and does a "check name", the server returns a different server name from what's on my SSL certificate, so when the user subsequently opens Outlook, he/she will receive the security alert saying the names don't match. How do I configure the server name being returned by the autodiscover service? I need to tweak it to match what's on my certificate. I've run "Set-OutlookProvider -CertPrincipalName" for both EXPR and EXCH, and whereas they now appear correct when I run "Get-OutlookProvider", this has made no difference to clients. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! Brad. P.S. If this question has already been answered numerous times, please resist the urge to swear at me and simply point me to the other posts. Once again, thanks a lot!

Hi The server name is coming from the service connection point (SCP) configured in AD. You can see what this is set to by running this command: Get-ClientAccessServer | fl Name,AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri If this doesn't match the name on your certificate (it probably doesn't) then run this command to change it: Set-ClientAccessServer name -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://autodiscover.yourdomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the quick response! However, according to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/6432dea0-e5a2-4cc2-afb8-24c89c18dc47/, "Set-ClientAccessServer AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri" is for domain-joined machines. My clients are not domain-joined. That same discussion mentions "Set-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl", but quite frankly I don't think the URL is the issue. It's the server name specifically that I want to change. I'd like Outlook to be trying to connect to secure.mydomain.com, rather than servername.mydomain.com. Thoughts? Brad.

Thanks for your help! With this information, I finally tracked down an article that spoke specifically to my issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726 (which, incidentally, included the step you suggested). Following those steps appears to have solved the problem. Interestingly, the server name is still coming up as NetBIOS_name.mydomain.com, but I don't get the security warning. I'm happy. :-) Thanks again! Brad.
