Exchange remote Connectivity Test Failing: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
Trying to run this test: Microsoft Exchange Web Services Connectivity Tests
Synchronization, Notification, Availability, and Automatic Replies (OOF)
Getting this error:
I do have a valid certificate issue by RapidSSL, I have followed the instructions to install it to my exchange and to IIS, I have used the RapidSSl tester to verify the cert is installed. The cert is to mail.dixiedigital.com. All the pointers in exchange (that I can find, under Management Console > Server Configuration > Client Access > Right click each one, set external URL to https://mail.domain.com/[the thing that supposed to be here]) are set correctly I think.
Not sure what to do, I have googled it, but most issues revolve around the certificate being self-signed. I don't know where to go to find my issue from here.

Hey guys, I had already assigned the certificate through EMC as stated in that article, but it still shows the Sonicwall certificate? I have completely deleted ALL certificates in EMC except for my 1 real RapidSSL signed cert. Could my certificate section be broken? I notice that none of my certs have a name beside them, I don't know if there is some corruption? Or maybe I should delete some certificate in the sonicwall?

nslookup resolves to gmail.now??

ve3ofa:
My nslookup doesn't resolve to GMail from the location I'm at, using 4.2.2.1 as DNS server.
Also, the Sonicwall login is unexpected and is probably the cause of my issue. Looks like the sonicwall is serving on https port 443 as well as my server, possibly causing the conflict in certificates. I will look into it today and update you.

OK, it's working now. I had remote administration on the sonicwall open on 443 (https), and it was conflicting with the exchange server serving on that port. It is now passing the connectivity test correctly.
One other issue, I'm getting an error in our INTERNAL outlook boxes when connecting to the server stating "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site". This is true because internally, the server name is sheldon.ddi.local, while the cert is signed for mail.dixiedigital.com.
Any quick fix for that? I've attached the error.

Nevermind I googled it and fixed it.

Got me on the right track to finding my certificate issue.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is only valid for 192.xxx.xxx.x
which redirects to a sonicwall network security login
OK - 24.xx.xx.xx resolves to wsip-24-xx-xx-xx.ks.ks.cox
	Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
	OK - Supports TLS.
	0 seconds - Good on Connection time
	OK - Not an open relay.
	5.242 seconds - Warning on Transaction Time
