I already have a wildcard certificate so that may be that way I'll go. I sort of have things working with my UC cert so I'm happy for now. Hard to play with a production server...

Then you'll configure each of the virtual directories to use that FQDN. That's pretty much the long and the short of it. You'll need to configure the vdir for OA, OWA, ECP, EAS, and OAB (and any other TLA you can think of!). :) Regards, Michael B.

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Paul Steele [mailto:paul.ste...@acadiau.ca] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 9:44 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Using an alias for an Exchange server Is it possible to set up an alias to use for connecting to an Exchange 2010 server? For example, if my server's internal name is exch2010.domain.com, I would like for users to connect using the alias exchange.domain.com and hide the internal server name as much as possible when using Outlook, OWA, and ActiveSync. I know that just setting up a DNS alias for the server isn't sufficient since there's a certificate involved. Can someone point me to any good documentation on this topic? Thanks!
