Errors with MS Exchange Certificate
I started off receiving an error on my Outlook clients after completing the move from Exchange Server 2003 to a new Exchange Server 2010. It stated that the certificate was invalid. I followed the steps to correct autodiscovery, but had no luck
in resolving the certificate issue. I must have missed something because now my clients are no longer able to use Outlook via the Web. Further, I'm now getting an error message that my Primary DNS server does not relay the external DNS information
for the exchange server, which I can see that it has.
Before I go on and really mess up the IIS virtual directories, I would appreciate some guidance.

Does OWA access function properly?
What names do you have on the certificate?
If your organization was named contoso.com, and if you used "mail" or "webmail" instead of a particular server name for OWA access (etc.), you would have at minimum (in an E2K3 -> E2K10 transition scenario):
- mail.contoso.com
- autodiscover.contoso.com
- legacy.contoso.com
URLs for OWA virtual directories (etc.) must match and DNS records must designate the proper targets.
Using above examples, mail and autodiscover should have DNS records pointing to the E2K10 CAS and legacy pointing to the E2K3 server.Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Do you also have the SAN cert in your "trust roots" on the workstations?
