Description
Server certificates are required for many security features in Exchange; without them, the server cannot engage in many forms of secure communication.
Failure to implement valid certificates makes it virtually impossible to secure Exchange's communications.
ℹ️ Check
Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:
Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains, issuer
If the value of "CertificateDomains" does not indicate it is issued by the DoD, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Remove the non-DoD certificate and import the correct DoD certificates.
