What I did was go ahead and enable all new services to use every available service by using the following command:

Enable-exchangecertificate -services IMAP, POP, UM, IIS, SMTP -Thumbprint BCF9F2C3D245E2588AB5895C37D8D914503D162E9

The next step would be to ensure the AutodiscoverInternalURI is pointed to the CAS that will be your primary CAS for Autodiscover servicing.

Get-ClientAccessServer -Identity CASServer | FL

AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://casnetbiosname/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

See the issue here? We are not using a UC certificate that contains the names, “casnetbiosname, casnetbiosname.shudnow.net, mail.shudnow.net, and autodiscover.shudnow.net” Since the Autodiscover directory in IIS will be requring SSL encryption, the url specified in the AutoDiscoverServiceInternalURI must match what is specified in your certificate. You must also ensure there is a DNS record that allows mail.shudnow.net to resolve to your CAS. We should re-configure the AutoDiscoverServiceInternalURI by using the following command:

Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CASServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUrihttps://mail.shudnow.net/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

We now need to go configure all the InternalURLs for each web distributed service.  If you are going to be utilizing the Autodiscover service from the outside or for non-domain joined clients, you may want to configure an -ExternalURL in addition to your -InternalURL.

Here is the reason why we were receiving the certificate errors. Your InternalURLs most likely are not using mail.shudnow.net. Your InternalURLs are most likely pointed to something such as https://casnetbiosname/ServiceURL which will fail since this is not the CN of your simple certificate.

You can run the following commands to fix your internalURLs so your Outlook 2007 client can successfully take advantage of your web distribution services.

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\EWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\OAB (Default Web Site)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/OAB

**NOTE: USE THESE COMMANDS FOR SBS2008

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\EWS (SBS Web Applications)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\OAB (SBS Web Applications)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/OAB

Note: You must ensure that you enable SSL on the OAB directory in IIS which is not on by default. The above command will only enable SSL, but will not ensure 128-bit SSL is required.

Enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server CASServer -ExternalHostname “mail.shudnow.net” -ClientAuthenticationMethod “Basic”-SSLOffloading:$False

Note: The above Enable-OutlookAnywhere command works on SP1. For RTM, substitute -ClientAuthenticationMethod with -ExternalAuthenticationMethod.

Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)” -ExternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/Microsoft-Server-Activesync

Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\UnifiedMessaging (Default Web Site)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/UnifiedMessaging/Service.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync (SBS Web Applications)” -ExternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/Microsoft-Server-Activesync

Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity “CASServer\UnifiedMessaging (SBS Web Applications)” -InternalURL https://mail.shudnow.net/UnifiedMessaging/Service.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

Note: The above Set-UMVirtualDirectory command is not needed in Exchange 2010.  Exchange 2010 no longer contains a UnifiedMessaging virtual directory and instead uses the Web Services Virtual Directory.

NOTE! - For SBS 2008 the sites are * (SBS Web Applications) instead of * (Default Web Site)

When you login to the server with another admin account, the EMC works fine.

There are several suggested methods to fix this:

1 - Log into the server as another admin account and delete the profile for the affected admin account.  (I was unable to do this as my DELETE button was greyed out for the main admin account)

2-        Close EMC

            Open %APPDATA%\Microsoft\MMC folder and delete Exchange Management Console file

            Start EMC  (Did not work for me)

3-   Start -> Run
      Enter "control keymgr.dll"
      Remove all stored passwords relating to Exchange servers and DCs  (this one worked for me)
