Sorry if I made things confusing.

The internal and external URLS are different.  With the internal just being
*.gregprod.com as gregprod.com is the internal domain.  The external domain
is greg.com.  I originally did what you suggested and had these as my domains
in the UCC request:

webmail.greg.com
autodiscover.greg.com
gregprod.com

The problem came when GoDaddy tried to validate that I owned gregprod.com,
which I didn't as that is only an internal domain not on the outside world.  
I was thinking that maybe all I need to do is secure that external domain as
well and my problem will go away.

The use of gregprod.com shouldn't present a problem unless it's
already owned by someone else. But I can see the CAs objection to
issuing a certificate to a domain that may potentially be registered
to someone else.

So, the easiest solution is to register gregprod.com with, say,
GoDaddy -- assuming it's not already registered by someone else. It'll
cost a couple of bucks but then you own it.

Well I went down the path I figured I would need to of resgistering
the other domain. It was only $7.00 or something on GoDaddy.
tangent: I still can't believe someone would pay $25 or $35 on Network
Solutions.

I put the cert in and I am able to access webmail and the client
without any cert prompting errors.

Still struggeling with my OAB sync, getting:


Task 'xxxxx@xxxxxxx' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation
failed. An object cannot be found.'

Based on some of the readings, I was hoping the cert might fix that as
well, but that is something I'll need to start a new thread on I
guess.

Thanks again for your help and suggestions.
Greg
