Common name not correct in SSL certificate

Hi
I am using SBS Server 2003 Certificate Authority to update the root
Server certificate for the Default website named (servername)

Should the common name (CN) of the Server certificate be a Full
Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)?

Because I get an error when my Windows Mobile Device trys to connect
to the Exchange Activesync using SSL.

The error has to do with the SSL certificate CN not matching the
Server name?

How can this be and how can I fix it?

thanks
Dominic
