We just installed Exch 2013 but have not put it into production yet. We are confused about what domains to include in our certificate request. Our ISP host our email and Network Solutions host our domain and we would like to keep it that way. We have just one static IP, and at Network Solutions there is an A Record for goto.domainname.com that points to that IP address --this is in use for our current SBS2003 box running Exchange 2003 and we use that certificate for Remote Web Workplace, OWA, etc. We do not intend to use that A record with Exchange 2013.
This is our setup with exchange 2013:
1. Our (internal) root domain name is different from our (external) email domain name: ad.domainname.com vs. domainname.com - so we do not use split-dns (I think)
2. We need to use the same static IP that is in use with our SBS2003 box.
3. We will be using Outlook 2010 and 2013 to connect users to Exchange mailboxes.
4. We want to use Outlook Web Access, ecp, Active Sync, & Autodiscover
Question1: We read in this article: http://www.mustbegeek.com/configure-external-and-internal-url-in-exchange-2013/ that we needed to create CNAME records at our public DNS server (Network Solutions) to point to mail.domainname.com . Do we create CNAME records or add another Host (A) record that points mail.domainname.com to our IP address?
Question2: Do we also create a similar record for autodiscover.domain.com?
Question3: Internally, what address do we use to access mailbox for non-outlook users? Would it also behttps://mail.domainname.com?
question4: For the certificate, how do we make sure our Outlook 2010/13 clients can connect to Exchange? Do we include the Intranet domain selections for the certificate -such as autodiscover.ad.domainname.com?
Thanks!
