Autodiscover / certificate issue

Dujith

We are running a small server with SBS2011 which has Exchange 2010 on it.

Atm i am working to get everything ready for some new computers with W10 and Office 2016. I found out that autodiscover was not correctly setup.

That is fixed now but the problem i run into is our certificate.

 

The certificate in question is only for intern.xxxxxxxx.nl

One of the things i had todo to get autodiscover to work is create autodiscover.xxxxxx.nl since xxxxxxxx.nl goes to our site which is running on a hosted provider where our exchange server is not :D 

now i keep getting the warning that the certificate has a name mismatch. (minor issue, either click through it or do a regedit change)

 

Now my question is this: Is this something i can change with the the DNS service? i think CNAME wont work?

Or do i need to upgrade the single name certificate to either a wildcard one of with the added autodiscover?

Depending on cost you could get a wildcard cert but it's often cheaper to get a SAN cert and specify the FQDN of each secure URL/Server/A/CNAME you need to use SSL for.

 

The other option is to use the CA role (if SBS has it) to issue a cert to the server which will easily work for any domain joined computer, with every Subject Alternative Name required specified when issuing it.

I'll get a price for the SAN since i will only need 2. autodiscover and intern

This will be the easiest option since i do not have alot of experience with advanced options within the server.

I have found a cheap wildcard SSL certificate from SSL2BUY.com. The certificate is issued by AlphaSSL. I paid £85 for 3 years.
