Exchange server 2013 - SSL certificate and rec connector questions
Set up a new exchange 2013 server to replace a 2003 SBS / exchange server We have a small number of users so it is on one box.
Two issues:
Used the default self-sign cert and got local outlooks connect and web OWA, etc working (after installing the cert on th workstations(,
Purchaed new standard SSL cert (as I did for the old box) pointomg to e.domain.com . Works from outside the bulding, but busted in house outlook since local machine is known as EXCHANGE or EXCHANGE.localdomain - Name mismatch errors. Installing rhe ccert doesn't help. I even tried pointing the local outlooks at e.domain,com and that doesn't get far (fails check name). The RDP over HTTTs did me in :-(
What is he best way to fix this?
Second problem:
I need to allow SMTP mail in from a handful of IPs with auth NOT required (Postini), all others must authenticte to send. This was simple in ech 2003, but not as clear in 2013 with several defalt connectors.
Thanks

This solution is only available to members.

Outlook Anywhere is the only way that you can connect to Exchange 2013. You need to check the configuration of Outlook Anywhere for the internal and external URLs.
If your SSL certificate doesn't have the internal name on it, then setup a split DNS system so the external name resolves and change the URL.
If you run just get-clientaccessserver then it will return the server's real name. You have to adjust a property of that for Autodiscover to work correctly.

Any help for the receive connectors? It looks like it defaukts to 4 connectors on a single box install.
I need to allow SMTP on ports 25 and 587, SSL SMTP on port 465, POP3, and IMAp4.
Authentication is required for all connections except SMTP traffic from a list or range of addresses.

I haven't got my Exchange 2013 test server running at the moment.
I would suggest a new question, which will bring it to the attention of others.
Usually to restrict the traffic you would either create a new Receive Connector with the list of IP address/ranges, or adjust the Default Receive Connector (which listens on port 25). Enabling Anonymous will turn of authentication being required.
All other connectors will require authentication by default.

I had tried adding e.domain,com and the local IP to my hosts file (which accomplishes the ssme thing) and that worked for browsing to OWA (no cert errors) but not for outlook. But now I think that it will work once I chnge intetnal URLs to be the external name, Now Get-ClientAccessServer returns EXCHANGE - the local name,
I did try to use e.domain,com - the public URL and the actual public server locally, but that didn;t work either - and I thought it should. Isn't that hoe outlook anywhere works? You ppoint at e.domain,com from anyhere and sync up? Maybe I don't have anywhere configured?
