Hi Billy,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the CA server is built-in with SBS server. It is not licensing related and you don't need pay extra money, neither for the your license nor for the public SBS newsgroup
service, it is open and free. Any registered community members, MVPs as well as MSFT engineers can share ideas and information here.

Regarding the link you referred to, I think Ace has pointed a good one which explains how to request a new SSL certificate and how to enable it on the Default Website. Here is
another article which may help you too:

Creating, Obtaining, and Installing Trusted Certificates in a Windows SBS 2003 Network Environment

More information about building a CA in Windows server domain:

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Such a long procedure to do so !!? I will have to try to remove SSL from the
Exadmin virtual root in IIS. But it seems it does not work. Do I need to
re-start the server?

Billy

Hi Billy,

Regarding the blog article Ace provided, you may begin with the "Creating the Certificate Request" part to request a new certificate. If you think it is too long for you to follow up, you may refer to the
below TechNet article, it is for SBS 2003:

Creating, Obtaining, and Installing Trusted Certificates in a Windows SBS 2003 Network Environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc949119(WS.10).aspx

BTW, you should remove the current expired certificate on Default Web site and restart IIS service using "iisreset /noforce".

Hope this helps.
