Sorry, I meant UCC (SAN) certs, not wildcard ones. Got certs on the brain at

Not sure exactly what the question is here. If you're asking am I/others using
the UCC (aka certs with SANs), then yes and a lot of people are. You really do
need one to deliver all the functionality.
If you're asking about a CA, I'd suggest you look at DigiCert.

Does anyone know how to make a loop from the command line(instead of

Exchange will automatically promote a DG to a SG if, in its sole discretion,
the DG needs to be a SG.
For example, if you assign permissions to a PF using a DG, Exchange will
