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

Exchange Admin Center language

Depending on your computer language settings, Exchange Admin Center can take those and open in a language you actually don't want to use. You'll Google that this can be changed if administrator/ admin user has mailbox by openening OWA settings and changing Regional parameters. But usually Admin user does not have mailbox or you don't want her/him to have it. You will search again and find that you can add mkt=en-US (as an example) to the URL of the Exchange Admin Center (https://yourexchangehostname/ecp?ExchClientVer=15&mkt=en-US) Third option you have is opening Internet Explorer settings (I am using Windows 2016) Click languages Click Set Language Preferences Add language you want to use by clicking Add language Use Move up or Move Down options to put desired language on top Close Internet Explorer Open it again and login again to Exchange Admin Center

Free/Busy missing - Cloud to On-Premises

We had a problem where M365 users could not retreive Free/Busy information from on-premise Exchange server. Hybrid setup was run and everything was working fine except this. After research I found out that TargetSharingEpr is the way to look at. There are many sites out there that are pointing to the same setting but only Set-OrganizationRelationship is used to change the value. The problem is, this value is available for two commands: Set-IntraOrganizationConnector Set-OrganizationRelationship While we changed the value in  Set-OrganizationRelationship it didn't work until we changed the value in  Set-IntraOrganizationConnector too. By default it should work with just  TargetAutodiscoverEpr but for us it didn't. Finally we ran this command on Intra Organization Connector which is used from Cloud to On-prem:  Set-IntraOrganizationConnector -TargetSharingEpr   https://mail.domain.com/ews/exchange.asmx And it worked.
