I have a 2007 Exchange Ent on a 2008 Server Ent (not R2) that has segregated email set up for 5 domains. The default domain works with no issues. I purchased an SSL with multiple SANs and installed it with no propblems. Now the owners want to be able to set up a web site for each of the domains with OWA access. I cannot find any information (other than for Exchange 2010) that gives me any information on how to configure this. I am on a time constraint so any help would be appreciated. This is how they would like to have things set up. 5 Domains with associated web sites (ie webmail.1-5.com) with OWA access and where Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010 can use the Autodiscover.1-5.com for configuration. Questions relating to this are: 1: Can the websites reside on a separate server running IIS7 with the virtual directories (OWA) and website for the individual domain so they can access mail with the multi SAN cert? 2: Where can I find the Knowledge base article on how to configure this?Devin

Hello, You can do this with host headers, eh, I mean bindings and a redirector: Use the default domain where your UCC certificates (company.com) are and just create a separate IIS site that simply redirects all Webmail requests to that site. For example. Create an IIS site calleed Webmail. In it, add bindings for webmail.company1.com, webmail.company2.com, etc. Then create a redirector that redirects you to https://company.com/owa. This is a simple approach, it works well if you don't care about looking at the redirected URL. If you don't want users from company1.com, etc. to see company.com in the final Webmail URL, then that's another story.

Ok, I have found and configured a redirect for the autodiscover.2nddomain.com using this method: Autodiscover Web Site Configuration Steps To allow a hoster to create a single Web site to support all their hosted customers in the Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration , the following configuration steps to create an "Autodiscover Redirect" Web site are: Create a DNS record for the URL (for example, autodiscover.fabrikam.com) that points to the Client Access Server (CAS) server(s).Create a new Internet-facing Web site on a unique IP (for example, autodiscoverredirect.fabrikam.com).Create a virtual directory on this Web site called Autodiscover. Create an empty file in this directory called autodiscover.xml.Through Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, configure that file to redirect to https://autodiscover.fabrikam.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. For each required hosted domain, create a CNAME record in DNS (for example, autodiscover.alpineskihouse.com) that points to autodiscoverredirect.fabrikam.com. When using Outlook 2010 trying to add a second profile as a test from an external location, I can use the autodiscover for the second domain name website and it says it completes but no profile is created? I also receive this error: The action cannot be completed. The name cannot be matched to a name in the address book. I have already setup address books for each of the domains I am trying to configure. I can log into the account via webmail and have no issues sending or receiving emails. What am I missing? Devin

OK, I think I have done this already. In my other post below you can see where it will redirect and go through the process of creating the account in Outlook but then gives an error about finding the user in the address book. Could you explain how to accomplish this while showing the proper name and not the redirected name? Thanks.Devin

Hi, One website can only bind with one certificate. You can create a second website to host other second vdirs. For example: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124811(v=EXCHG.80).aspx Thanks, Simon

So I could create the other website and vdirs for the new site. Could I use a cert with multiple SANs on the second website?Devin
