iis security: We have an exchange server running IIS5 with a certificte
about to expire. I went through the options to create a
renewal request. I sent the request to a CA and obtained
the response. When i try to process the pending request,
I get the message

"The pending certificate request for this response was
not found. This request may be canceled."

In the registery, it shows the correct request file name
= c:\renewcertreq.txt. There is still the previous
certreq.txt in the root directory.

Is there a way around this or do I need to create a new
cert request ($).

Hello,
It is possible that you will still be able to use this certificate by
installing it first (Importing in the Certificates console in the Personal
store), deleting the pending request in the IIS Certificates wizard and
choosing to Assign an existing certificate. However, it is recommended that
you create a new request and obtain a new certificate just to be on the
safe side.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
