Certificate problem?

Hi folks,

SBS 2008 installed this weekend. I purchased a certificate from godaddy and
when through the wizard during setup to request/install it. It seemed to go
OK. When I finished the entire install of the box, I brought back up the
certificate wizard and I had two certificates for remote.domain.com, the one
I bought from godaddy and a self-signed one. I assumed SBS created it
itself.

Now I'm testing things out. OWA and RWW work, with certificate error, when
I view the certificate, it's the self-signed one. Outlook anywhere doesn't
connect at all, which is what I'm concerned with most.
I contact my ISP and had them set up the external DNS record required for
autodiscovery. Smart phones are receiving e-mail.

What else do I need to do? Can I remove the self signed cert, or will that
cause a problem? What do I need to check?

Thanks for any advice.
Mike

If you completed the wizard then the GoDaddy certificate should have been
installed properly and bound to IIS.

Did you install the intermediate certificate chain from GoDaddy as their
site explains?

Cliff,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I followed it to the letter including the
intermediate file, and it installed successfully.
No where did I tell it to create a self-signed one, does it auto-create?
Can I manually bind the proper one to IIS?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, the self-signed cert is created when you run the IAMW. So it isn't
uncommon to see a self-signed cert in the certificates store. The wizard
installs the new cert and updates the sites as appropriate.

Re-run the "Add a Trusted Certificate" wizard. The first choice there is to
use an existing certificate on the server. You should be able to view and
select the GoDaddy issued cert and the wizard will do the rest of the IIS
configuration for you.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your post and Cliff's input.


If you are using Outlook 2007 to access your e-mail messages, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Outlook 2007 should automatically configure all settings after you enter your
e-mail address when you are creating your e-mail profile. (Outlook uses e-mail profiles to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is
stored.) For detailed information about installing the self-signed certificate on a computer, open your organization's Internal Web site, and then under Announcements, click
Install the server's security certificate on your remote computer.

If you are using Outlook 2003 to access your e-mail messages, you should manually configure the Outlook settings. For step-by-step instructions for configuring Outlook
Anywhere, in Remote Web Workplace, click "How do I use Outlook Anywhere?"

It's important to use the Trusted Certificate wizard for the last step, to ensure that the certificate is bound to the correct IIS website, as well as TSGateway for remote desktop
access. For detailed steps, please refer to below two articles:
