SBS2011 remote connection issue
Hello, we have a new single sbs2011 server, which we added an ssl certifficate to, which enabled us to log on remotely for OWA. This was working fine.
We have installed several updates to the server since the original comissioning,
However, just recently we are getting certificate errors when trying to log in to https://remote.domainname.co.uk. We can proceed, although advised not to, and we eventually get the logon screen. When we logon the OWA screen appears, and we can access e-mail OK.
However, when we try to connect to say the server, we get the following error.
This computer can't verify the identity of the RD gateway "remote.domainname.co.uk".
I realise that something has happened with the SSL certificate on our server, but as this was working, did not want to start "poking" around without consulting somone else first.
If anyone could give me some assistance in how to troubleshoot this, I would be very much obliged.
Many thanks.

Run through the Internet Address Management Wizard again for adding the certificate and setting up your names in the SBS console.

Thanks Mark,
I would prefer to have the SSL to work from workstations without the SSL installed locally, as I have to administer the server from remote locations, not always from the same device, so its important that we get this working correctly.
Thanks for your input though.

Th other thing is of course that we have remote users using OWA, and I dont want them seeing the certifficate error. They too will be accessing it from various devices, so again we need the SSL installed correctly. It used to work fine, but now.......
In my experience, you cannot do that without installing the certificate on the local machine. I maybe wrong, and stand corrected if that is the case.
As I understand it, the certificate installed on the local machine, confirms to the server, that this machine is allowed to connect. Other wise it gives the shown error.
It maybe that a recent update has enforced this behaviour.
EE - Can anyone else confirm this?

We have had it working without installing the certificate on each local device previously, so I probably agree with you that some kind of update has "broken" this.
Would like it to work as before if at all possible.
Many thanks.
