I am trying to renew a wildcard SSL certificate in Windows 2008R2 IIS V7.5.
I have installed the p7b cert in to the certificates intermediate container (MMC, certificates, following Godaddy's article) and this was successful. However, when I try and add the .crt file by running the 'complete certificate request' it adds it but when I refresh the page or go to binding and try and bind it, it has disappeared.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
