The client uses Outlook 2010 connecting to Exchange 2010. &nbsp;When outlook is opened on any PC in the domain, after a few minutes a certificate warning appears that &quot;name on the certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site&quot;.<br />
<br />
The interesting part is that it is not one of our certificates. &nbsp;It shows as a certificate for server.domain.com.com. &nbsp;No there is no error in our cert. &nbsp;If the user clicks the NO button, Outlook continues to work fine. &nbsp;So it does not appear to be something happening here. &nbsp;I researched the IP that answers the address on the cert and found a site hosted on Amazon Tech that will respond to any domain name entered with and extra &quot;.com&quot; tacked onto the end. &nbsp;OK that's a clever way to get random hits on your web site. &nbsp;Register com.com and redirect any subdomains. &nbsp;If I open the site in a browser I get the same cert warning. <br />

But why am I getting this from Outlook?

strange certificate warning
