I am implementing an Exchange 2007 system which consists of two-node Load-balancing ISA Reverse Proxy Servers, two-node Load-balancing Exchange 2007 Hub/CAS and two-node Exchange 2007 Mailbox Cluster. I would like to use SSL Certificates with OWA, ActiveSync and Outlook Anywhere. How many certificates do I need? Any help will be appreciated.

You probably just need to one certitifcate which will be installed on your CAS servers using a common name e.g. mail.mydomain.com. You do not need external SSL for mailbox servers or ISA.

When you have chosen your certificate the installation procedure on Microsoft Exchange 2007 server should be, depending on your SSL Cert something like:
1. Once you received your SSL certificate by e-mail, please copy and paste it into a text file (with Notepad or Wordpad) and save the file with the .crt extension. (Include the tags -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----). 2. Copy your .crt file to c:\ on your Exchange Server. 3. Launch the Exchange Management Shell (located in Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange Server 2007). 4. Run these commands (change the certificate_name.crt): Import-ExchangeCertificate -Path C:\certificate_name.crt Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services "SMTP, IMAP, POP, IIS" The Services option can be any combination of: IMAP, POP, UM, IIS and SMTP. 5. Check that your certificate is enabled with this command line: Get-ExchangeCertificate -DomainName yourdomainname 6. In response to the above command, you should see the certificates thumbprint, the list of the services and the name of your certificate file. If your certificate isn't properly enabled, you can re-run the modified Enable command with the certificate thumbprint: Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint [paste thumbprint here] -Services "SMTP, IMAP, POP, IIS" 7. Reboot your server. 8. Test your certificate by connecting with IE, Outlook or ActiveSync.
