Hello All:
My question is "what are the ramifications of assigning a wildcard certificate to the SMTP service on a customer's Exchange 2010 CAS"? I would like to know of the impact that existing OWA, Outlook 2010, and ActiveSync clients will see, if anything. I am having issues getting the Manage Hybrid Configuration to work & upon re-reading the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, I see the following: "
You should see the certificate you installed listed in the list of Exchange certificates returned by theGet-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet, including the parameter attributes assigned to each certificate. Verify that the certificate from the third-party trusted certificate authority (CA) that you will use for the hybrid deployment has:
The Service attribute has the IIS and SMTP services assigned.
The Status attribute is listed as “Valid”.
The RootCAType attribute is listed as “ThirdParty”.
If any of the three conditions listed above are not met, you can't use the certificate with the Manage Hybrid Configuration wizard or with the hybrid deployment."
I have a case/Service Request open w/Microsoft re:this (614100390603301). If anyone is able to provide clarification, it would be most helpful.
Thank you.
