Well, there is no internal host record for mail.massbar.org, only a MX record. There is, however a host record for parcel.massbar.org, and that name works just fine in the browser when the old cert is installed, but not for the wildcard or UCC certs. The working cert is for mail.massbar.org, but internally, you can use https://parcel.massbar.org, because that's what IIS thinks it is. Mail.massbar.org is only configured in Exchange so that the mail goes out from mail.massbar.org. I guess maybe the UCC might not work because parcel.massbar.org is not listed on the cert, only mail.massbar.org. What about the wildcard, though - *.massbar.org ?

I can't for the life of me figure out why OWA works with the current SSL cert, but doesn't if I install either a wildcard cert for the domain or a UCC cert which includes the Exchange server host name.

With ActiveSync, Exchange is fine, but you need to ensure that your device supports it. Simon may chime in with a correction, but I don't think Windows Mobile supported UCC/wildcart certs until WM 6. Other devices may have different support guidelines. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc182301.aspx "Windows Mobile 5.0 does not support the use of wildcard certificates for device-to-server authentication. This restriction applies to all communications, including Exchange ActiveSync." Regards, Michael B.
