Hello all -

We just got a SAN DigCert request back, and I'm trying to import it into our 
2010 CAS server. Problem is - there's no "Complete Pending Request" wizard on 
the Server Configuration / Exchange certificates tab Actions Pane.

Anybody have any suggestions about how to import this .CRT file? Do I just use 
Import-ExchangeCertificate? I'm not real positive I understand the -FileData 
part of that cmdlets syntax. Do I need to use the Certificate mmc first?

Sorry about my lack of DigCert knowledge. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

You need to export it from your current server first, with the private key. It 
will give you a PFX file you can import into the new server. Whenever I get a 
new cert, I export like this and keep a copy for backup.

I created the request (still have a copy of the .req file there) on the
machine I'm trying to import onto.

oops, never mind. I thought you were trying to move it from another server. I'd 
still make a backup once you get it installed.

Picture send offline.

Basically you have to click Server Config -> Server Name (if more than one) -> 
(new Certificate name) -> Complete Pending Request

If it's not there, then someone has deleted it for you.

You have to create a new request. However, you SHOULD find that most of the 
data is pre-filled. I just tested it and most of the data was pre-filled for me.
