I am not in the know with SBS, but if you have your own CA server you can
issue your certificate with the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). I am
using one that I issued myself.
From your webserver you create a request for the cert using the FQDN, issue
that and copy to your device. As I said I am not sure about SBES so you
might have to find your way around it.
