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?
