The only other advice I will throw in here with this type of domain setup... don't use a wildcard record with your external DNS zone.<br />
<br />
Weird things will be sure to happen if there are even minor DNS misconfigurations.

Hi &nbsp;Guys, <br />
<br />
I am planning to installing a new Windows Server 2012 with exchange server 2013. The domain setup is completely new.<br />
<br />
I come to know that some CA authority (GoDaddy) no longer allow to renew/buy SSL certificate with internal domain (like .local). It may be affecting the autodiscover function in my internal outlook clients. &nbsp;What is the best solution for this?<br />
<br />
I was thinking of making my internal domain name same as the external domain name. This probably will solve the SSL problem (am I right?). <br />
<br />
<br />
If I were to chose a different domain name, setting up a internal CA will solve the SSL problem? I don't quite like the idea of setting up an internal CA as I not too familiar with that<br />
<br />
There is no intranet web site hosted internally <br />
<br />
All comments are welcome. Thank you

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
