Hi

It appears to be a self signed certificate which mean you need to click, 'install certificate' (next next) on all devices.

i dont want a self signed, i paid for a ucc certificate.  how do i take this out or get rid of error?
where did you get this certificate from?
the name on the certificate must match the name of the host
if your mail server is mail.foo.com which is what clients connect to, then your certificate should include mail.foo.com and should be from a trusted authority (verisign, go daddy, etc.)
Hi,

This certificate seems to be issued to 00:13:F7:9C:FE:38 which offcourse does not reflect your exchange inside NOR outside adress.
It should read something like mail.mydomain.org  so domain, not mac adress.
got from godaddy and im pretty sure i verified that the mail.ourdomainname.com is a sub in the certificate. the outlooks connect just to exchange which uses the name of the server. what do i change or check?
Check in ESM if you have assigned the right certificate to the right services.
The certificate you are showing was issued by some cable modem and is valid for 20 years, seems not a godaddy certificate.
the 00:13:F7:9C:FE:38 comes up twice because there are 2 dialog boxes. Ive tried to install them but they just come back when your reopen outlook?
Hi again,

Please have a read here on how to assign a certificate to services in ESM.
in emc under server config, i show 3 cert's. 2 are valid and 1 of the valid are self signed. the 1 that i paid for all 4 protocols and it only shows the domain name and not mail.domain.com.  that might be my problem?
For sure. Plus assignment is not right.
the one alert is for mail.domain.com and other alert is autodiscover.domain.com.  i have to add both these to cert in emc?
Create a new certificate from vendor adding the following domain to resovle your issue.

"mail.domain.com"
"Autodiscover.domain.com"

If you have above mention domain certificate then bind the same certificate in IIS and reset the issue.

To bind the certificate refer below link :

should i delete the existing certificates all 3 or just add a new one? i think its my internal url for autodiscover, is one issue and the other security alert is for the mail.***.com url.  i have found lots of documents on iis7 and server 2008 but not much for server 2012. anyone have the changes for the new server? i just dont know how to fix this?

i did fix it.  i had to make new dns primary zones for mydomainname.com and then put an a record for each certificate error pointing to the internal ip address of the server. before when i ping the mail.***.com it was replying with the external ip.  that fixed both errors. why is that?

because active directory domain was .local and the mail is .com?
