I'll have to check that when I go to work tomorrow, but I accessed OWA to
double check and the certificate says server.domain.com or to be more exact,
it says webmail.domain.com which is not the name of the server but the URL to
OWA.

One question, is the certificate used for the Outlook client as well as OWA?
I thought it was for OWA only, which works just fine. I do get a warning
every time I go to the OWA logon page stating
"The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to
trust..."

If i view the certificate I can't view the issuer if I'm not running from a
computer that is member of the domain and connected to the LAN, probably
because the issuer is dc.domain.local which cannot be resolved on the
internet.

About half of the users running Outlook from remote locations work on
computers that is not members of the domain if that is of importance.
