Hey there...

I am curretly running Exchange 2003 on W2k3 member server.

I installed Certificate Services and produced my own certificate and all works well with OWA.

I recently found out that SelfSSL is available but not quite as robust, which would probably be good.

I removed Cert services and was getting ready to install selfssl when one of my domain controllers started getting an error message about the cert being invalid. It happened last time I tried to uninstall cert services and I ended up rebuilding the domain controller to get rid of it.
I don't want to do that again. So do any of you know how to remove certifcate services from the domain cleanly?
Also, is SelfSSL a good route to take for securing OWA?

thanks a mil...

Quick question to start with. Are you making OWA accessible from the Internet, or just on your internal network?

Yes I am making it available to the internet.
Only about 20 users from their laptops or homes.

I may want to implement a VPN solution later so they can work with their files, but I feel uneasy about that right now.
