Using SSL *requires* that the name the client uses to contact the server
exactly matches the name in the server's certificate.
If your "IT admin" has screwed up this basic stuff, just tell Entourage to
contact the broken name, and then hardwire this broken name in your
/etc/hosts file.
In more detail:
Say you are currently talking to "exchange.example.com" and your "IT admin"
has used the name "broken-name.microsoft.com" in the certificate.
1) Use the Lookup tab in Network Utility.app to find the IP address for
exchange.example.com. Say it returns 1.2.3.4...
2) In Terminal.app, type:
sudo -s
echo "1.2.3.4 broken-name.microsoft.com" >> /etc/hosts
exit
3) Restart Entourage.
Cheers,
Chris
