Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector Windows SBS Internet Send SERVER with a FQDN parameter of mail.xxxx.org. If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key.

I am just wondering about all these Certs that making our lives difficalt. Can Microsoft come up with a better solution.

Hi, When you mark the thread as answered, the severity level gets down and the response from Microsoft might be delay. Regarding the Outlook profile goes back, I am suspecting it is caused by the Autodiscover configuration in Outlook 2007. There might be incorrect settings in the Server side, so when Outlook client connects, the autodiscover service verify it and then re-sync the configuration. To troubleshoot this issue, let me know the following information: 1. What change you have made on Outlook Proxy setting; 2. What is the security alert, certificate mismatch, or certificate invalid? 3. When does the issue occurs, as soon as the Outlook launches, or any while the Outlook is running? 4. How does the Outlook connects to Exchange server, is it via Outlook Anywhere? 5. Let me know the relationship on the following domain names: SERVER.xxxx.local mail.okpca.org Remote.domain.com Fiona
