After you run the Enable-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet, you might need to restart Internet Information Services (IIS). In some scenarios, Exchange might continue to use the previous certificate for encrypting and decrypting the cookie that's used for Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App) authentication. We recommend restarting IIS in environments that use Layer 4 load balancing.

There are many factors to consider when you configure certificates for Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) services. You need to understand how these factors might affect your overall configuration.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is being replaced by Transport Layer Security (TLS) as the protocol that's used to encrypt data sent between computer systems. They're so closely related that the terms "SSL" and "TLS" (without versions) are often used interchangeably. Because of this similarity, references to "SSL" in Exchange topics, the Exchange admin center, and the Exchange Management Shell have often been used to encompass both the SSL and TLS protocols. Typically, "SSL" refers to the actual SSL protocol only when a version is also provided (for example, SSL 3.0). For more information, see [Exchange Server TLS configuration best practices](https://learn.microsoft.com/Exchange/exchange-tls-configuration).

TLS replaced Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as the protocol used to encrypt data sent between computer systems. In the past, "TLS" and "SSL" were often used interchangeably. Any reference to SSL in Exchange documentation actually means TLS, unless a version number is also included (for example, SSL 3.0).

Typically, you don't need to replace the default certificate with a certificate from a commercial CA for the purpose of encrypting internal SMTP traffic. If you want to replace the default certificate without the confirmation prompt, use the Force switch.

- $true: Outlook Anywhere clients using TLS don't maintain an TLS connection along the entire network path to the Exchange server. A network device in front of the server decrypts the TLS connections and proxies the unencrypted (HTTP) client connections to the Outlook Anywhere virtual directory. The network segment where HTTP is used should be a secured network. This value is the default.
