2. Open the Exchange Management Shell. Enter and run the import and enable commands, respectively:
   
    Import-ExchangeCertificate -Path C:\mydomain.cer 
 Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services "SMTP, IMAP, POP, IIS" 
    
3. The services can be any combination of these values: IMAP, POP, UM, IIS, SMTP.
4. To verify that your certificate is running and enabled run the command:
   
    Get-ExchangeCertificate -DomainName server.domain.com 
    
5. In response to the above command you should see the certificate's thumbprint: an abbreviated list of the services and "mydomain.cer". If your certificate is not properly enabled you can re-run the modified enable command with the certificate thumbprint:
   
    Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint [paste thumbprint here] -Services "SMTP,IMAP, POP, IIS" 
    
6. Reboot your server and test that your certificate is working by connecting with IE, ActiveSync, or Outlook.
