Here are the quick steps for provisioning a Unified Communication Certificate with GoDaddy for Exchange 2007 (OWA, Offline Address Book, UM, etc.) Sorry there are no pictures, but the process is distilled and to the point!

1. Generate the certificate request from here. Thank you DigiCert! This absolutely rocks. Your common name should be the external FQDN i.e. mail.yourdomainname.com. Your Subject Alternative Names (SANs) should include the NETBIOS name of your Exchange server, the internal FQDN i.e. exchange.local and autodiscover.yourdomainname.com.
2. Paste the command generated from the above website into Exchange Management Console.
3. Open the certificate request file generated by the Exchange Management Console. from the C:\, select all and copy.
4. Log in to GoDaddy, purchase a “Multiple Domain” SSL Certificate.
5. After purchasing, from the GoDaddy website, manage the certificate and paste the certificate request into the box.
6. Wait
7. Download the certificate
8. Import the certificate using Exchange Management Console. Import-ExchangeCertificate -Path "c:\CertificateFile.cer"
9. Copy the Thumbprint value. We will need it later.
10. Finally, in Exchange Management Console. Enable-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint <insert thumbprint here> “IIS”. You can enable more services and multiples at one time. See here.
