There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate, Code error 8

Hi Guys I have a Exchange 2010 that has been running for 2 Years and Clients have been connecting to it for 2 years no problems. using Smartphones etc, OWA no problems at all..
The Exchange Certificate Expired on the 5th so as far as i am aware clients using Outook anywhere access, are having issues connecting.
I renewed the Web Services Certificate by doing the following
Get-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint “**************************” | New-ExchangeCertificate .. with the correct thumb print key of course.. and selected yes to overwrite.. ok..
I can connect to it from my computer if i setup Outlook anywhere access through Outlook, I can get to OWA access , i can get access from my Samsung Phone and connect and send and receive Email..
This is the first user i am having issues with the rest are still on holidays so i am expecting more of them.. He has Outlook anywhere working for the last 2 years and stopped working when certificate expired, I have tried installing certificate again , doesnt work, if I VPN into the network it works fine and updates his Email..  But the Error he Gets  is the Following:

There is a Problem with the Proxy Server's Security Certificate
The Security Certificate is not from a trusted certifying Authority
Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy Server mail.yourservername.com (Error Code 8)

The Certificate is Self Assigned..Scratching my Head with this not sure if there is an issue there or it is just something on his computer..
Please Help...?
Thanks in advance

Self signed certs are funky when it comes to Outlook. Phones usually don't have a problem with them. If your clients are Outlook 2007 or 2010 you will need to install the cert manually on each client machine using the certificates MMC. Yes this sucks so I suggest purchasing a valid SSL cert from Godaddy or other provider. A UCC cert works best but you can make a single cert work.

Also make sure your SSL cert is showing in IIS manager.
Also not sure if you're familiar with this site but it should help troubleshoot.
