My goal is to configure an Exchange 2007 environment to exchange domain-secured e-mail with our partner. I assume the following high-level approach is best practice:<br />
<br />
1.Generate a certificate request for TLS certificates.<br />
2.Import the certificate to my mail server.<br />
3.Configure outbound domain security.<br />
4.Configure inbound domain security.<br />
5.Test mail flow.<br />
<br />
I am not sure how to perform each step and hoping there is a more straight forward method to accomplish my objective. Is there a way to configure Enforce TLS without using cmdlets? Is a TLS certificate absolutely required? Once again, what is the simple approach to accomplish this configuration. &nbsp;Is there a step-by-step guide available in the form of a KB or whitepaper?<br />
<br />
Thank you
