Re: SBS 2008: using cert and dyndns.info and Outlook anywhere

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks Les.

Remote user said they installed. (we uploaded to a secure FTP and they dload
it and ran it.)

That cert says installed.

Is the problem the fact that xxx.dyndns.info is the external server and the
internal is remote.xxx.com and that's where the cert is having an issue?

What else can I do?

Thanks Les.

You need to physically have the cert on the remote computer. With SBS 03,
you could install the cert while remote, but not with SBS 08.

But you can still generate your own certificate, which you've probably done
already.

In the SBS console, Network > Connectivity tab - click under Web Server
Certificate, and then on the right hand side, Open Certificate Installation
Package. You'll see a zip file - put that on a USB key and run it on the
remote computer to install the certificate.

There's an "announcement" on your companyweb with full details.

In SBS 2003, we could generate a cert based on need.

Now upgraded from 03 to 08. Client has dynamic DNS that points to their
server: xxx.dyndns.info

MX still point to xxx.dyndns.info.
Mail works fine just like in 03
If you goto: xxx.dyndns.info/remote or owa - it works

NS have a Cname that points remote.xxx.com to xxx.dyndns.info/remote
(also a redirect in the NS control Panel)

On LAN, outlook anywhere works fine(assuming that the server pushes out
the
cert when logging into mobile laptop)

PROBLEM:
From Remote for mobile laptop, outlook anywhere does not connect.

says server not available.(tried correct auth )
Tried the test exchange site and it times out and cert fails.

Question:
How can I generate my own unique cert like sbs 2003 for xxx.dyndns.info?
or
What other options should we do?

Thanks.
