This works great for users outside using Outlook 2007s Outlook Anywhere feature. However, internal users get a warning stating that the SSL cert name doesn't match the server. It's not the biggest issue, but it's...untidy. What's the best way to handle this? Obviously I can only attach one SSL cert to the Default site in IIS on the Exchange box and the internal domain (mydomain.local) is sufficiently different from the external one (mydomain.com<http://mydomain.com/>) that we can't get an SSL cert to cover both. Is there a way to create a new IIS site that still points at the same exchange folder structure as the current Default Site but that is set to accept a different hostname? That way I could have one site for the internal users hitting blue-server.mydomain.local and one for the external users hitting mail.mydomain.com<http://mail.mydomain.com/> and attach a correct cert to both. Can this be done ? Olly ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
