So here's the thing. We've been using an SSL certificate for about a year on our Exchange 2010 server and now it's expired. Without it my colleagues can't use their phones to connect to the server and check their e-mails. So the certificate expired and I
had no idea what to do, so I didn't use the built in renewal option, but I bought a new certificate. I received "Your certificate", "Your CSR" and "Your Private Key" in the form of a text like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
........vZSWUbiqwp9fggG38qa0YEPQiTIFF91VlsCHdLN6uYQvyq7MbvqDASY66IQDx1tW.....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
So this text I copied and pasted in a new file and saved as .cer, .req and .pfx files and that's where I hang. I have no idea what to do after that to install the certificate. I tired various things I found on the internet but none of them worked (or I couldn't
do them, because they're somewhat different from what I have available).
Plus now I'm stuck with another issue, because I created a new certificate from the EMC, it generated a request file and after that I tried to "Complete Pending Request" using the certificate I have now. It didn't work, but the certificate thumbprint
is saved somewhere and I can't try other things for the isntallation. Also when I tried to remove the thumprint from the EMS with Remove-ExchangeCertificate it showed with red text that The certificate was found, but is not valid for use with Exchange
Server, because Private key is missing.
What do I do now? How can I fix this?
