I hope you can help me. Windows 20003 Server Active Directory Domain with
an internal XXX.NET Domain and an external XXX.ORG Domain.

I am creating our own Microsoft Internal Certificate Authority on my Domain
Controller to be used on our Exchange Server and the ISA 2004 Server in our
DMZ acting as a front end for our SMTP and OWA. When I started to create
the Certificate it came up with "DC=XXX,DC=net". I was not surprised but
now I am not sure if I need to continue with this Certificate or try and
create the certificate using "DC=XXX,DC=ORG". The Exchange Server is a
domain member but the ISA box has a single NIC and is in the DMZ Workgroup
only.

Also, we will need to put a Certificate for SSL on our web server which is
running as WWW.XXX.ORG and WWW.ZZZ.XXX.ORG. Can I use this same certificate
for both the ISA and Web Server or do I need to create a Stand Alone
Certificate for the Web Server?

Please help me so I can continue with the setup.

Thanks!

A CA service running in the domain "xxx.net" can & will serve certificates
for n number of purpose to systems in any other domain.

The system or service requiring certificate need not be a member of your
xxx.net domain.
