Some of the virtual directory configuration tasks can fail if the name you specify isnвЂ™t resolvable in DNS.

Using a PowerShell Script to Configure Exchange Server 2016 Client Access NamespacesД¬onfiguring DNS Records for the Client Access NamespacesД«efore changing your serverвЂ™s namespace configuration you should make sure that the DNS records for the new namespaces already exist in DNS.

Using my GetExchangeURLs.ps1 script I can see the current configuration of the server.

Internal and external namespaces will be the same.

IвЂ™ll be demonstrating with a single Exchange Server 2016 server, but this approach can also be used if you have multiple Exchange servers that you want to load balance (which IвЂ™ll cover in a future article). While there are a variety of namespace designs that apply to different deployment scenarios I will demonstrate here the simplest approach, which is to configure the same namespace (URL) for all services.

The recommended practice is to change the URLsВ configured on your Exchange 2016 servers to aliases or generic host names such as вЂњ вЂќ after you first install the server. The internal AD namespace for many organizations is not a valid domain name on the internet, for example domain.local, which makes it impossible to acquire SSL certificates for Exchange 2016 (IвЂ™ll cover SSL certificates in a separate article coming soon).A URL containing a specific server name canвЂ™t be load-balanced across multiple servers in a high availability deployment.They are difficult for end users to remember (this primarily impacts Outlook on the web, where users tend to find it easier to remember a URL such as вЂњ вЂњ).These default URLs allow the services to function but they are not suitable for production deployments for several reasons such as:

So for example if your server name is вЂњ вЂќ then the default URL for OWA will be вЂњ вЂњ.

The default URLs contain the fully qualified domain name of the server. When you first install Exchange Server 2016 it is pre-configured with default URLs for the various HTTPS services such as OWA (Outlook on the web), ActiveSync (mobile device access), Exchange Web Services (the API used for a variety of client communications), and others.
