Error – “Updating hybrid configuration failed with error ‘Subtask Configure execution failed: Configure Mail Flow”

When  you try to run the  Hybrid Configuration wizard you get the following error:

Error –  “Updating hybrid configuration failed with error ‘Subtask Configure execution failed: Configure Mail Flow”

If you are using wildcard certificate in your default website in IIS  ,*.domain.com is not a valid FQDN for a send connector in Exchange sp2 . There two ways to solve this issue :

1. Install exchange SP2 rollup 1 – http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28809

2.If you dont want to  install the update, i  found a workaround in this  a grate article

Basically, what you need to do in order to complete the Hybrid Configuration Wizard is to use a free  digital certificate from http://www.freessl.com/ complete the wizard and then replace it back to your wildcard certificate.
