use external url for internalurl when the internal domain doesnt belong to me?
I'd like to know the best way to configure an exchange server in this situation:
internal domain: domain.com (we do not own this domain, the tech before created the domain and didnt use domain.local)
external domain used for email: domainabc.com ( we own this domain)
server name: Exchange
currently if i do a get-webservicesvirtualdirectory | fl it returns the following:
internalurl = https://Exchange/EWS/Exchange.asmx
Externalurl = https://mail.domainabc.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
we are using a UCC cert, but cannot add the domain: "domain.com" because we dont own it.
OOO assistant isnt working on the outside becuase it cant resolve
https://Exchange
So I'm assuming i need to change the internalurl to
https://mail.domainabc.com
Is this correct?

Yes, you are correct. Set up split-DNS so the mail.domainabc.com resolves to internal address from the inside and external addresses from thr outside. Then configure all of your "internalURLs" the exact same as your "externalURLs". This
will solve your issue. Also, don't forget to configure the AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri as shown below:
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CAS_Server_Name -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri
https://mail.domainabc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Remember, whatever names are configured in your URLs in Exchange must be in the certificate.Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

Hi agree with TWHarrington. You will need to setup Split DNS. For more information refer to below links:
