Exchange Authentication Cert Issue

85814-exchange-cert.pngThis is following on from my upgrade for Exchange 2013 CU6 to CU23 and applying the security patch.

(Non internet facing server) so it was just done recently

The entire upgrade went fine , the cert was out of date but I renewed it and it allowed me to finish upgrade

Exchange server doesnt have any mailboxes databases and is really an Admin console

I believe we would get rid of it ,but have to have it there for MS reasons

Enclosing screenshot of cert error

Googled a few ways to replace this , looking for best way to do this :)

You will always see that error if accessing it via the URL ( Localhost) since that is not a valid FQDN

Connect to the server using the FQDN on the cert not localhost - or just ignore it if you want to connect via localhost :)

in that case, connect via the valid FQDN of the server that is also a subject name on the cert :)
