A carbon copy of Exchange 2013.

The next steps we are going to do using Exchange powershell.

  1. Open up Exchange Management Shell as administrator
  2. Check what certificate the send connector is using by issuing the command below: (make note of the send connector name)

Get-SendConnector | fl​

  1. Get the thumbprint of the new certificate that you've just imported: Get-ExchangeCertificate | fl
  2. Make note of the thumbprint and issue the following commands:
$certificate = Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "<insert thumbprint>"
$tlscertificatename = "<i>$($certificate.Issuer)<s>$($certificate.Subject)"
Set-SendConnector "Name of Send connector" -TlsCertificateName $tlscertificatename
  1. Confirm that the commands you have just run were successful, by issuing the following command:

Get-SendConnector | fl​

  1. Enable the certificate with SMTP services using the command below:

Enable-ExchangeCertificate "<insert thumbprint>" -services SMTP​

  1. Repeat the above steps, incase you have any receive connectors that are using TLS:

Get-ReceiveConnector | fl​
