SBS 2008 Exchange on SSL & Domain
Hi,
I
have setup an install of SBS 2008 and trying to configure it as an Exchange Server
for email. I am a newbie
and please be patient with me. :)
What I have done:
The SBS 2008 server will be on a static IP. So far I have:
1. AD is setup with domain "mycompanyname.local"
2.
Web hosting for
mycompanyname.com
is hosted elsewhere.
3. During the "Setup Your Internet Address" wizard I selected manage domain yourself. Selected already have one.
4. Setup the POP3 connector to pull email from the webhost,
and direct it to an exchange inbox.
Current Status:
1. Email can be sent/receive internally and externally.
2. Outlook is able to link to
Exchange
server "myservername.mycompanyname.local".
Questions:
1. I wish to setup RPC-over-HTTP (outlook anywhere), and these are the things I have done:
- RPC-over-HTTP proxy is installed
- Outlook anywhere is enabled
- Enabled basic
authentication in IIS
But I am still unable to connect to the server through HTTPS connection.
Here is the error message:
"The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook
must be online or connected to complete this action"
Please kindly advice.
2. Are SSL certificates to be purchased? If so, where can I purchase it?
3. Our
AD
domain is
previously setup as
mycompanyname.local. The problem is that
for every new
user creation,
it will be defaulted to "mycompanyname.local".
The
ideal and default
email address should be "anothercompanyname.com".
How should we resolve this without renaming the domain name?
