Hi,
I am doing a SBS migration from 2003 -> 2008, and I accidently went through
the wizard in the console to add a certificate and added the auto-generated
self-signed certificate.
I went out to Godaddy and purchased one, and installed it. In the wizard
the only certificate that shows up, even though I imported the one from
Godaddy is the self signed one.
Anyone have any ideal how I remove the self signed one, and get the Godaddy
one to show up for use?

Thanks,
Mike

If the certificate is *gone* then it is possible (and I'd argue likely) that
the certificate's private key has been removed from the store. Even if you
could track down the original godaddy cert emails, etc, that'd only be the
public key.

I'd recommend re-running the wizard and creating the certificate request
again. Go to GoDaddy and choose the option to "rekey" the certificate. This
is free since the subject name is not changing. Then complete the wizard as
normal. All will be restored to former working condition.

Cliff,
What you are saying for my new certificate makes sense. Does rerunning the
wizard delete the one that was self signed? Also, perhaps part of the
problem I am having is that the self signed one created at remote.domain.com,
and the one i bought from Godaddy had the same name. Not sure if that makes
a difference or not.
Ideally I want to clean up any mess that I created originally so the new
cert is the only/appropriate one.
Thanks for the reply.

Mike

The cert is likely still there, you'd just have to re assign it to each IIS
site.
(Since you may not know how to do this.)

Like Cliff suggests
I'd suggest just have a new cert re issued from Godaddy
(Again no cost)
and install it again.

To me that would probably be the easiest for you.

Russ,

Yeah, I "think" I know how to do it, but if running the wizards fixes it,
installs the Godaddy cert and deactivates/removes the self signed one, I'm
good with that. Thanks so much!
