Warning: The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site

If you use commercial SSL certificate for your organization's Outlook Web Access (OWA) you will have to manually change the certificate OWA uses since by default OWA uses self-signed certificate.

When you do that you need to enable new certificate for Exchange 2007 services. You do that by using Enable-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet in Exchange Management Shell. First:

Get-ExchangeCertificate | fl Subject, Thumbprint, Services

... to get the thumbprint of the certificate you want to enable for IIS and you previously imported into IIS. Then:

Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint (COPYTHECORRECTTHUMBPRINTFROMPREVIOUSCOMMAND) -Services IIS

Now that your certificate is in place and enabled for IIS services you need to change Internal URL's to use new FQDN you are using in your certificate. If you don't do that you will get "The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site" warning when you start Outlook 2007. Let's presume your CAS server's name is CASSRV and the FQDN of the certificate is mail.exchangelog.info. So, to change internal URL's you need to run following commands:

Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CASSRV -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://mail.exchangelog.info/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "CASSRV\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.exchangelog.info/ews/exchange.asmx

Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "CASSRV\OAB (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.exchangelog.info/oab

Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity "CASSRV\unifiedmessaging (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.exchangelog.info/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx

I suggest that you run get-WILLBEUSEDCOMMAND before you run Set- command where WILLBEUSEDCOMMAND is a command you plan to use in order to check/write down current settings always before you start changing things.

Netscaler vs Exchange 2019 "time out during ssl handshake stage

If you are using Citrix Netscaler as load balancer in front of Exchange 2019 server you must know this: Microsoft Exchange 2019 is secured by default and allows only TLS 1.2. Therefore default schannel settings are as follows (using IISCrypto tool from Nartac Software): While Citrix Netscaler offers following Cipher Suites: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC2_CBC_40_MD5 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA Now, you will fi

Reason: [{LED=250 2.1.5 RESOLVER.GRP.Expanded; distribution list expanded};{MSG=};{FQDN=};{IP=};{LRT=}]

 If you got this error checking the mail flow for a distribution group, it means the distribution group is closed and only internal senders can send e-mail to this group. When outside user sends e-mail to this group you get  Reason: [{LED=250 2.1.5 RESOLVER.GRP.Expanded; distribution list expanded};{MSG=};{FQDN=};{IP=};{LRT=}] Set Delivery for this group to internal and external users and your problem will be solved.

Ports that need to be open on Firewall for Edge Transport servers

Ports that need to be open on firewall for Edge Server subscription with Hub Server to function properly: For Inbound traffic: SMTP - TCP port 25 (from Internet) SMTP - TCP port 25 (from Edge server to Hub server on internal network) For Outbound traffic: SMTP - TCP/UDP port 25 (from Edge to Internet) SMTP - TCP/UDP port 25 (from Hub to Edge server) LDAP for EdgeSync - TCP port 50389 (from Hub to Edge server) Secure LDAP for EdgeSync - TCP port 50636 (from Hub to Edge server) Since Edge server needs to communicate with Hub server it is important that it can resolve Hub transport servers by FQDN and Hub transport servers must be able to resolve Edge servers by its FQDNs. To accomplish this you need to either open 53 (DNS) port and configure internal network adapter to use internal DNS but as a security precaution I would suggest to enter DNS records for Edge servers on local DNS manually and to fill hosts file on Edge servers with FQDNs for Hub transport servers.
