Exchange 2010 cert additional help.

Question
-
Hi all,
we are going to have one cas array that includes cas1.mycompany.local and cas2.mycompany.local and one DAG which includes two mailbox servers.
We are transitioning from exch2003 to exch 2010 SP1. From what I got: I need to purchase one SAN certificate with
mail.mycompany.com
autodiscover.mycompany.comwe are going to setup split DNS too and will set internalURL and externalURL to mail.mycompany.com.
Can I use one SAN cert above to put in the two CAS servers above? how? will outlook users get security popup since the cas array name is outlook.mycompany.local which uses NLB virtual IP (nlb1.mycompany.local)
Thank you.

Yes, you can.
But you may need to configure the internalurl for the web services, such as autodiscover, EWS, OAB, OWA, UM. Set them to access https:// mail.mycompany.com/xxx/xxxxx.
Or you will receive a certificate mismatch warning in Outlook as the CASARRAY name “outlook.mycompany.local” is not in the list of the SAN certificate you submitted.
Thanks,
Simon

they will not get hte popup from the CAS array name but get it from web services and internal autodiscover so you should set those names ti mail.mycompany.com or add the names to the SAN

Yes, CAS Array records would be use for MAPI connection only.

Yes, you can use single SAN certificate for both CAS server (Make sure SAN certificate have both node FQDN).

From what I read and help got from, I should not include both node FQDN which are internal.
I want the SAN cetificate with mail.mycompany.com and autodiscover.mycompany.com to be used on two CAS servers since everyone uses mail.mycompany.com to access owa, not individual CAS internal FQDN.
Can anyone offer me the steps to put one SAN certificate on two servers?
Thank you.

the OWA internal FQDN should be pointing to the internal Servers name. other than this it should point to the NLB name.
