Renew certificate in Exchange Hybrid

How to renew a certificate in Exchange Hybrid? You have a new third-party certificate installed on the Exchange Server. Now that you finished that task,

you like to remove the old certificate. But, you get a message that these certificates are tagged with the Outbound to Office 365 send connector. Why is this happening, and what is the solution?

Invalid Exchange certificate

Sign in to the Exchange Server. Navigate to servers > certificates. Select the Exchange Server from the drop-down menu if you have multiple Exchange Servers.

In our example, we have an invalid certificate.

Important: In production environments, you need to renew the certificate before it gets invalid. Otherwise, mail flow will not work.

Install Exchange certificate

We did install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate on the Exchange Server. Also, we did assign it to the services IMAP, ISS, and SMTP. The certificate shows the status Valid.

These certificates are tagged with following Send Connectors

The new certificate is installed and valid. However, the old certificate is invalid. Let’s remove the old certificate on the Exchange Server to keep everything tidy.

When we want to remove the invalid Exchange certificate, we do get an error.

Why do we get this error, and what is the solution for removing the certificates that are tagged with the send connector Outbound to Office 365?

 

Renew certificate in Exchange Hybrid with PowerShell

     The solution to this error is that we need to assign the new certificate to the:

  1. Send connector: Outbound to Office 365
  2. Receive connector: Default frontend

     Important: Do the same steps on the other Exchange Servers.

     Follow these steps:

     Step 1. Collect information

     Double-click the new certificate in the Exchange admin center. Copy the Thumbprint.

    

Go to mail flow > send connectors. Copy the Outbound to Office 365 send connector name. In our example, it’s Outbound to Office 365 – d1c9beac-0655-48e7-9949-5e497af1d38d.

Go to mail flow > receive connectors. Copy the Default Frontend receive connector name. In our example, it’s Default Frontend EX02-2016.

Step 2. Set the new certificate

Run Exchange Management Shell as administrator. Get the Exchange certificate with the thumbprintthat you copied in the previous step.

PS] C:\>Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "2936E663C57F488BDC11661357DB60D031A90CE8"

Thumbprint Services Subject
---------- -------- -------
2936E663C57F488BDC11661357DB60D031A90CE8 I..WS.. CN=mail.exoip.com

 

Store the value to the $TLSCert variable.

[PS] C:\>$TLSCert = Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "2936E663C57F488BDC11661357DB60D031A90CE8"

 

Store the certificate issuer and certificate subject values to the $TLSCertName variable.

[PS] C:\>$TLSCertName = "<I>$($TLSCert.Issuer)<S>$($TLSCert.Subject)"

 

Run the Set-SendConnector cmdlet, including the TlsCertificateName parameter. Fill in the send connector name that you copied in the previous step.

[PS] C:\>Set-SendConnector "Outbound to Office 365 - d1c9beac-0655-48e7-9949-5e497af1d38d" -TlsCertificateName $TLSCertName

 

Run the Set-ReceiveConnector cmdlet, including the TlsCertificateName parameter. Fill in the receive connector name that you copied in the previous step.

[PS] C:\>Set-ReceiveConnector "EX02-2016\Default Frontend EX02-2016" -TlsCertificateName $TLSCertName

 

Step 3. Restart IIS

Restart the Internet Information Services (IIS) on the Exchange Server.

[PS] C:\>iisreset

 

Conclusion

In this article, you learned how to renew the Exchange Hybrid certificate. Collect the new certificate information and run the commands to set the TLS certificate on the send connector and receive connector. Another way is to rerun the Office 365 Hybrid Configuration Wizard and select the new certificate.
