I really need help in what to look for next on this issue.

I am running SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003. I am not using ISA on SBS, instead I have a SonicWall as my firewall. I opened the ports on the firewall for OWA (80 & 443). I have run the CEICW to configure the connection and issue a certificate. Email works fine under current configuration (port 25 open for Exchange). If I am remotely connected to the network over the VPN I can access OWA only by entering in: https://servername/exchange and this works if I am on the network locally as well.

Offsite however with no VPN connection I am enter https://mail.domainname.com/exchange and am told by IE7 that there is a problem with this website's security certificate. If I continue to the website (not recommended by IE7) it says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

I do have mail.domainname.com set with the proper MX records or my Exchange Server would not be working. I feel this is dealing with the certificate, but I don't know where to look from here if the server generated the certificate with the CEICW. Where do I go from here?

On a side note, I am trying to get this working before I move on to getting the mobile devices working with ActiveSync.

Also, as long as you have port 443 pointed to your SBS, then the SonicWall would not be answering on that port, and the certificate would indeed be coming from your SBS. You can see the particulars if you view certificate, and then look on the Details tab > Issuer.

You should have these Containers listed in a properly created certificate:

CN = mail.domainname.com
CN = companyweb
CN = server
CN = localhost
CN = server.domainname.local

(you only put in mail.domainname.com in the wizard, and it creates the other four for you).
