Exchange 2007 certificate

Hi. I have a client with a 2007 exchange server. They are getting ready to move to my hosted exchange environment in the next few weeks.

They currently have a third party SSL certificate that expires in a few days. Because they are migrating about a week after that I was thinking of letting the cert expire but I wondered how it will affect the environment.

Will mail still function on active says devices and or exchange over https? It just seems like a significant amount of work and the cost of the cert if we are moving their mail.

Thoughts ?

Thanks for the response. I was wondering because I have had ActiveSync devices working in environments with no certs before.

You may be able to get this to work but specifically with ActiveSync you can experience a lot of issues if your certificate is expired. Personally I would not have it setup this way and if you do in fact renew the certificate then this transition will be seamless on the user end and this will not get any warning popups or intermittent issues due to an expired cert.

Thanks Will. Looks like I will renew the cert then. Can you please look for any new questions of mine this weekend? I will be doing this on Friday into Saturday. I've done certs on 2003 and 2010 but never on 2007.

Thanks again
