Hi Larry,

Partially disagree with you at this point.

You shall use your public domain name or public IP address here. In other
words, just use whatever your remote user accessing your SBS web site from
the Internet.

The reason is, the Web Server Certificate used to work for SSL encryption
and internet users will see the certificate when using HTTPS to access the
web site.

A very important thing is RPC/HTTP for Outlook. If the certificate cannot
be trusted, RPC/HTTP can never work. Since there're 3 key points for a
valid certificate:

1. Trusted.
2. Issue To = URL.
3. Valid time.

The Issue To portion of the certificate is exactly same as the info you key
in CEICW, and this info shall be same as your URL (Public domain name or
public IP address).

After the remote user install the certificate (visiting
https://public.domain name/Exchange -> View Certificate -> Install it to
Trusted Root Certification Authorities) on internet computers, you can
configure and use RPC/HTTP.

Hi Guido:

it really does not matter what you type in there, so long as there is a
DNS
record at your isp that points to the static (preferably) address of your
internet facing IP, which is usually the WAN side of your router.

If you are hosting your own mail, you probably already have a DNS record
for
mail.yourdomain.com, so you could use that. I have some called
rww.yourdomain.com, and some folks just use their public ip address.

We have a SBS 2003 Server.

The Server Name is server.domainname.local

When we run CEICW wizard, we are asked to:

Create a web server certificate.

Is this what we type in there:

server.domainname.local

Your help is appreciated.

Guido
