Exchange 2010 - Outlook clients receiving an error stating "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"

I have an in house Exchange Server (Internal name DC01 - local IP 192.168.1.2) FQDN mail.mydomain.com
Remote users access the Server via Http and have no issues connecting and do not receive the certificate error. They have the following settings.
Server mail.mydomain.com
username the user's ID
Proxy settings
https mail.mydomain.com
msstd:mail.mydomain.com
basic auth

Internal users receive the error message with the following settings
server dc01.mydomain.local
username user's ID
no proxy settings.

Internal DNS A record mail.mydomain.com points to the IP address of the Exchange server 192.168.1.2.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue with OL.

Thanks in advance

Sorry for the long delay.

Can you post the error here?

Do you have autodiscover.emaildomain.com and mail.emaildomain.com in your certificate?
Can you see your common name(i.e. mail.emaildomain.com) in the results of the below command?

Get-clientAccessServer | fl Name,AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri
Get-OabVirtualDirectory |  fl Server,Name,internalurl,externalurl
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl name,internalurl,externalurl

Open in new window

Do you have below A records created which points to Exchange2010 server internal IP?
mail.emaildomain.com
autodiscover.emaildomain.com

If all these done you shoud not get certificate error

No error messages. Outlook just pops a message stating The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.

Hi MAS, I have the same issue, and get internal and external URLs for 2/3 of the powershell commands, the last one (Get-webservices) shows no external URL. I am getting errors for autodiscover.server.com and mail.server.com. Please advise.

Also, autodiscover has a host (a) that's using autodiscover.domain.com for it's FQDN. Is that correct? My error is twice-fold, mail.domain.com is showing a "name does not match" as well as autodiscover.domain.com showing the same error. Thanks in advance!
