Re: Basic SSL Cert & Windows 2008 Help

[Nathan V <nathan.v () gmail com>]

Which version of Exchange is this for?  The link you've included isn't
the right one for what you're doing.  Since you have the .crt already
from the CA you can skip the CSR.  Import the certificate you
generated/downloaded into IIS and then in the site properties /
security check 'enforce SSL' which should force clients to renegotiate
from HTTP to HTTPS.  I'm not able to hop on my Exchange box at the
moment but if you still need help later I can make a more detailed
how-to.
