iis security : server certificate from cert service

Greetings
I have an IIS website that I need to enable SSL for. I am familiar with the
process of generating a certificate request from IIS and I have done that
and generated a certreq.txt file. For this we didn't need a verisign
certificate so we installed certificates services on a Windows 2003 box as a
standalone CA. I copied the file over to the CA server and had it generate a
certificate, no problem. However what I can't figure out is how to get it to
generate a .cer file that I can copy back to the web server and install in
IIS. I'm not sure how to complete the process once the CA server has
generated a certificate. With verisign I always got a file back that I
installed on the web server. What am I missing here?
thanks
Colin

PS - the CA server is a 2003 box that is a domain controller, the IIS server
is win2k
