Installing an SSL Certificate in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

After you enter the CSR in our online application, and once your certificate is ready for installation, you need to download all of the files we provide. You must install the intermediate and primary certificate to your Microsoft® Exchange server 2010 to complete installation. For more information see Downloading Your SSL Certificate.

Exchange server 2010 requires a Multiple Domain (UCC) Certificate to run all services securely.
