SSL settings for Exchange Server 2007 cannot be configured

  • Article

Applies To: Windows SBS 2008

Problem   The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings for Exchange Server 2007 cannot be configured.

Features affected   If the SSL settings for Exchange Server 2007 are not configured, SSL is enabled and required for the default Web site. This may cause problems with any line-of-business or third-party applications that are on the default Web site, because they work only with HTTP instead of with HTTPS.

Solution   To resolve this issue, you must manually configure the SSL settings for Exchange Server 2007.

Important

Pre-requisite task   Exchange Server 2007 must already be installed on the server before you complete this task. For more information about installing Exchange Server 2007, contact Microsoft Product Support.
