I am currently having trouble with the last stage of configuring Exchange/Outlook in our organisation.

We are having issues with an SSL Warning when opening Outlook 2013, where it is failing to validate the SSL, as it is using our (old) Internal URL (exchange.internal.local).

Please see the config within Exchange below, however I'm not sure what is causing this, if it helps it doesn't seem to be happening in Outlook 2007

!!EDIT!! Also if it helps, running the Exchange through Test Exchange Connectivity reveals the following: Screenshot

  • Check Get-OutlookAnywhere. It has an InternalHostname and ExternalHostname now that wasn't present in 2010. Jul 4, 2013 at 21:33
  • @JeremyLyons Thanks for the heads up, all looks OK, but I have added the output to the above post Jul 5, 2013 at 10:21
  • It looks like you're presenting the wrong Exchange certificate. Did you install an Exchange certificate for mail.externaldomain.co.uk and autodiscover.externaldomain.co.uk? Did you assign services to it after installing it? Jul 5, 2013 at 20:56
  • @JeremyLyons The SSL being presented is for mail.externaldomain.co.uk but does not cover autodiscover.externaldomain.co.uk - this SSL is the only SSL now in Exchange (all others have been deleted), could it be as autodiscover.externaldomain.co.uk doesn't have a valid SSL? I don't mind the initial warning for autodiscover.externaldomain.co.uk when setting up a mailbox. Jul 7, 2013 at 7:52
  • I'm still confused as to why Exchange seems to be presenting a cert for exchange.domain.local. Can you give me a sanitized output of get-exchangecertificate? Also, using that website to test from outside isn't a 1:1 test, but they have a downloadable tool you can run from your workstation that I would recommend trying. Jul 10, 2013 at 2:33

Ok - Changing the Autodiscover from a DNS A Record to an SRV Record fixed.

Also this was still popping up on the Test Machines which were already setup.

On deleting/re-adding the Exchange Accounts to Outlook this fixed.

  • Just to advise you that the approach above is the default. Your approach is more suitable for External access to the Exchange server through Outlook Anywhere connectivity.

You need to set Outlook provider. http://ilantz.com/2013/06/29/exchange-2013-outlook-anywhere-considerations/
