Re: Dead Exchange Server

Ok, first thing I would do is rerun CEICW as it can fix errors in your configuration including certficates (IMHO, I would strongly suggest buying a standard SSL commercial cert from Go Daddy as they are very inexpensive and less headache in administration with mobile devices). If that does not work, I would suggest downloading Exchange Best Practice and SBS Best Practice Analyzer. Run both to see if they find anything. I would then look at your Event Viewer App log on the Server for any related Errors. Please post back your findings. You can also post to microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs group as they are dedicated to SBS questions.

Yes, its a server computer i built, i installed SBS 2003, its fully updated,
i had Exchange Server 2003 installed as well and fully updated that, it
messed up after installing the latest service pack. We were using the
certificate that was generated with the install, but i made a new one to
utilize the IP address of the server so we dont get certificate errors, that
was only working when connecting locally, but for some reason that stopped
working now and we get those errors again.

I talked with microsoft online chat and they couldnt figure anything out,
and they gave me a link to the microsoft exchange IT pro's, but its fairly
spendy, even for a small business like this one. My boss wants no part of
that, thats why im here, hoping somebody has some ideas, or has had this
problem before and knows the solution.

Is this an SBS Server? Are you using a Commercial Certificate to secure
your EAS connections? Have you considered calling a local IT Consultant?
