Question : Installed new 3rd party cert Exchange 2010 outlook web App and email not working after reboot

I am running Exchange 2010 rollup 4 on Server 2008sp2

I have installed  a new 3rd party SSL cert and my users were getting the message that the names did not match. So I did this to fix:

Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity russellmail -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://mail.domain.net/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “russellmail\EWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.net/ews/exchange.asmx

Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity “russellmail\oab (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.net/oab

Email was working just fine as well as OWA.

We also changed ISP's, so my IP addresses changed and I made changes to DNS. After propigation all worked just fine. It is when I rebooted the server that every thing stopped working. OWA and incomming and outgoing email.

To complicate matters further, we use Microsoft forefront online protection and mail is bouncing back from their servers. (The following organization rejected your message: TX2EHSMHS044.bigfish.com; TX2EHSMHS044.bigfish.com #550 5.4.1 Relay Access Denied ##) I have a ticket open with them and they said they would get back to me when they found something.

I am not sure the OWA not working (Times out) is related to our incomming and outgoing mail not working.

I can give more info if needed.
 
Thanks

Answer : Installed new 3rd party cert Exchange 2010 outlook web App and email not working after reboot

a) You setup your autodiscover and SCP's to point to this
https://mail.domain.net/
Do you have an internal DNS entry for mail.domain.net > pointing to IP Address of Exchange Server.

b) Whats your internal domain name and external domain name ? Are they same / different ?

c) Go here

Test for inbound / outbound email.

After ISP change, did you change your IP address in MX records
Check yours here
www.mxtoolbox.com

did you ask your ISP to create a PTR record for your external FQDN to point to your public IP.
In your case, I think you will have to check with forefront team on that.

Please post back questions.
