  The Web Server Certificate provides a secure communication between a remote client and the web server, which in your case is the SBS 2003. The Web Server on SBS 2003 hosts services like OWA, RWW and in order to have secure communication a Web Server Certificate is recommended. This Web Server Certificate has nothing to do with the externally hosted web site. You can either have a self-signed certificate using the Public IP or public FQDN OR user a certificate obtained from a trusted authority. In other words, the Web Server Certificate name should be the one you use to access OWA, RWW, externally. HTH Moloy

  I am setting up our second Small Business Server. I wasn't involved in the previous server setup, and the people setting it up didn't fully finish the To Do list. My question is on the "Web server name" when configuring the Web Server Certificate. We have an externally hosted web site (www.dwdev.com) so we don't need or want to use the Business Web site feature. Where does the Web server name come from? Can I just pick a name (dwd1 for instance)? I have 2 SMB Server books, and they both just say to put in the name, no mention where you get the name or any requirements.

  I have a client who has an SBS 2003 server.  They recently decided to host their Exchange externally.  Now on the Outlook clients, when the users login, there is a promtp to login to the new exchange service, which succeeds.  Moments later a second login prompt pops up asking for credential for the old SBS domain exchange login.  The interesting thing is that their domain on the server is the same as the mx domain.  What can I do to fix this.  There is only one profile in the mail applet and that is the hosted service. Any help with this would be much appreciated! Thanks
