Remote manage IIS website certificates

$

Is there a proper way of managing an IIS 8.5 website certificates?

Most are familiar with creating Certificate Requests from the IIS Manager, then using that request to get a certificate from your certificate issuer and finally assigning the certificate to a site binding. How is the same thing accomplished with access only to remote management of the IIS? With Core and soon Nano servers all around I'd expect someone to have a good answer.

The certificate management bit is missing from the remote IIS management console.
I tried to create a certificate remotely with MMC and Certificate snapin loaded. The certificate appeared OK in the snapin and even was selectable in remote IIS management console, but when trying to bind to a site it failed. Got various errors but mostly this one (from event viewer, schannel) "A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL server credential private key. The error code returned from the cryptographic module is 0x8009030D. The internal error state is 10001."

Anyone have a PROPER way of doing this? :)

Sincerely
