When we install Exchange 2010 on a computer, it will automatically install a default self-signed certificate for communicating between Exchange Servers. Due to this certificate never is created or signed by a trusted Root CA, it cannot use in any clients in the organization.

The Exchange self-signed certificate will have Subject Alternative Name (SANs) that correspond to the name of the Exchange server as the server name and the server’s fully qualified domain name.

If we want to use the self-signed certificate, administrator need to do extra steps that let clients trust these certificate. In the moment, we will do a easy solution that get a certificate from an internal CA ---- Microsoft Activity Directory Certificate Services.
