Accessing OWA, RWW without SSL Cert Error

I have a non-internet facing SBS 2003 box that has a different external name to internal.

For Example. Externally, uses can access server with remote.domainname.com, but internally they simply use http://SERVERNAME or http://FQDN.

I have setup the self-assigned SSL Certificate with the External name.

When a User accesses server either Internal or External, they are prompted within IE with "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." which can be clicked through but I would of thought that the Workstation should be trusted?

What am I missing? Do I need to install Cert on each domain PC? Do I need to setup DNS to route a request for http://SERVERNAME to http://remote.domainname.com?

So many questions .... :-)

I would like to award points to all contributors - I have been offline for too long due to unforeseen circumstances.

Awarded point evenly for contributing.

Ended up just using GoDaddy to get some cheap SSL Certs.
