BEFORE Exchange 2007 RTM, they were expensive. If you insisted on Verisign certs, they were VERY expensive.
Even Verisign bought a smaller company to sell SAN certs in the last year, though. --James -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Vander Kooi Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 2:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Is Exchange 2007 worth it over 2003? I have SAN certs and they are not very expensive. If you paid a lot for yours then you paid too much. I have the exact situation you describe and paid less than $200 to cover all of my various names. Much cheaper than the old way in my opinion.

You'll need a 'Subject Alternative Name' certificate, and they ain't cheap. --- Tim Vander Kooi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm sorry, but as was discussed on one of the lists > a week or so ago...
