Request a new certificate


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm running Windows Server 2003 SBS and trying to export an SSL

certificate of a web site. I go into the MMC, add the Certificates

snap-in, select Computer Account, Local Computer, and expand the

Personal Certificates. After selecting the appropriate certificate,

choosing export, it does not give me the option to click, "Yes, export

the private key." It is my understanding that this will happen if the

key has already been exported.

 

Therefore, it should work if I requested a new certificate for the

site. I then open the IIS manager, navigate to the web site, and

choose Server Certificate under Directory Security. My options are to

either renew, remove, or replace the current certificate. What exactly

should I do? Am I heading in the correct direction? Any assistance

would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Aaron

Since SBS is its own beast, I suggest you post in

microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. There are wizards for everything, and

you ignore them at your peril. :-)
