Cause

There are two possible causes:

1. You are using a self-signed certificate that has not been placed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store 

2. You are connecting to the Exchange server using server name or IP address that is not specified in the certificate. 

Solution

The solution varies based on the cause:

1. Install the self-signed certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store using the following instructions:
