Hi,

In-case if you have three exchange servers from all of three domains. Then you can think of having a SAN certificate by for all the three locations where all the services like Outlook Anywhere, OAB, EWS and so forth. However out of all the three domains in which one the exchange is installed. Are you using Split brain DNS mechanisms or are you planning to have internal and external DNS separate.

Please confirm

Thanks

NO.

i don't have 3 Exchange Servers. One exchange Server having 3 mail domains.
Hi,

In that case you have to use Split brain DNS mechanisms along with SAN Certificate. And as you mentioned that you are having mailboxes from all the three domains. You need to add all of the following autodiscover.contoso.com, autodiscover.abc.com and autodiscover.xyz.com in the SAN certificate for proper autodiscover to work properly.
