Exchange certificate
Hi,
I have setup a lab environment with Exchange 2007, and I have an internal PKI.
When i logon with a user within outlook 2010, they are shown a certificate from exchange that exchange has generated, and ofcourse this is not trusted. So how do I publish a Exchange certificate from my internal PKI to Exchange so it will automatically trust
this ?
Thanks for reply

1. Request new certicate on exchange 2007 ( while requesting use SAN names like mbx1.domain.local , mail.domain.com, all the names of servers and public url)
2. Submit the request to CA and get the certificate from CA
3. Install MBX servers
Please look at the blog for detailed steps

note: why do u have ex2007 in lab, if possible play around with ex2010 for lab purpose

On my exchange I have the following certificate in local computer certificate: server authentication with friendly name Microsoft Exchange
Do I haveto request a new computer certificate, if im suppose to request any special exchange certificate then i guess i need to publish something on my ca ?
Could i just import the exchange selv created certificate on the root ca so it will be trusted ?

By default Exchange comes with a self-signed cert. You need to replace this with either a public one or one generated from your internal PKI. Here are some articles to help:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995942(EXCHG.80).aspx
1.Use the New-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet to create a certificate request file.
2.Send this file to a Windows Certificate Services certification authority and use the Web server template on the Certification Authority page. This will result in a .cer file that can be imported to the Client Access server.
3.Use the Get-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet to determine the thumbprint for your certificate.
4.After you have imported the certificate, you can assign it to IIS, IMAP4, and POP3 by using the Enable-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet.Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Lync 2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog:
