Actually, no this doesn't work for me. I should have mentioned that I've
already tried this.

When I run the Wizard, after the first Next button, I get two options:

1. I want to buy a certificate from a certificate provider.
2. I want to use a certificate already installed on the server.

Option 1 forces me to create a CSR. I do that, but I subsequently can't
import the cert I already have on record. The error is: "The imported
certificate does not match your Web site. Verified that you have selected the
correct certificate file, and then try again."

Option 2 brings up a list of installed certificates. My certificate doesn't
appear in that list. No certificates appear in that list.

On the "Before you being" page of the wizard, there is a link titled, "How
do I import an existing trusted certificate?" This link leads one through the
wizard for exporting a current cert. However, I cannot choose the "Yes,
export the private key" option. It is grayed out.

On a whim, I've removed the certificate from the Personal section within the
Certificates snap in for the Computer account and re-imported the .cer file I
have. I am successful, but this cert still doesn't show up in the list of
already installed certificates.

Does that help further explain the problem?

Cheers,

m

Sounds like you are looking at the IIS cert wiz, not the SBS wiz.

What type of certificate did you purchase? Was it a single name certificate,
or a multi-name certificate also known as a UC/SAN cert?

If that's the case, please tell me where I should go.

I don't believe I am in the IIS wizard, though. To bring up the exact wizard
I described, I click the "Add a trusted certificate" link within the SBS
Console under the Getting Started Tasks.

Is that the IIS or the SBS wizard?
