Office365 activation fails Virtual Web Appliance

Question

Office 365 activation fails though the virtual web appliance. 
 All url's are in 'low risk' and allowed (according the logs) 
 What can we do?

In short the problem is: 
 https://activation.sls.microsoft.com 
 www.ssllabs.com/.../analyze.html 
 Their certificates grades as a T and the sever uses SSLV3 so the appliance will drop this connection.

To correct this you can: 
 #1 Turn off certificate validation and activate your product. 
 #2 import the certificate to list of exclusions 
 
 Unfortunately I can not recommend either of theses solutions. Option 1 will work but ultimately MS should resolve this issues (SSLV3 and Self Signed Cert) With validation turned on the appliance will reject a self signed cert and will drop a SSLv3 connection.
