Note: Replace “c:\certificates\YOUR_CERTIFICATE.cer” with the path of your Certificate location

To enable the Certificate and assign it to the relevant services, run the following command:

Assign Certificate in Exchange 2007:
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint *Insert Thumbprint* -Services “POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS”

Note: replace *Insert Thumbprint* with $your_Thumbprint (you will see this in the output of the previous command).
