Guest rob Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, I've had a 2003 server go down and I tried to restore my NTbackup tape and that didn't work. The new server had exactly the same problem as the old server. (Kept rebooting at acpitable.dat) Anyway, I've rebuilt the machine with a fresh install of windows 2003 server and restored the data from the tape. (funny out a system restore didn't work!) What I need to do is restore a SSL certificate that is stored on the tape! It was issued from verisign. I do have my certificate request file and the response text file. How do I plum them into the new server or do I have to buy a new one? TIA Rob

Guest Ken Schaefer Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Restore SSL Certificate from Tape The response typically does not include the private key does it? THat's in the certificate request? You need to somehow import the certificate request into the pending certificate requests store.
