Renew a self-signing certificate
I have ISA 2004, Exchange Server 2007 both running Windows 2003 server. I have a self-signing certificate that was created by the Exchange Server. This certificate will expire in a week. How do I renew this certificate? How can I, if possible, renew it for more than a year? This certificate was exported and added to the listener property of the Web Publishing Rule in ISA 2004. This rule has OWA and Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync also as the paths. I have owa and iphone users. Thank you ScottL

After I renewed the certificate and enabled IIS, I tried to export it using the Export-ExchangeCertificate command. Once it asked me for the user name and password it came back and gave me the following error: Export-ExchangeCertificate : Cannot gain access to the private key or it is not exportable, and as a result cannot export as PKCS-12. Parameter name: Thumbprint At line:1 char:27 I used the Thumbprint of the renewed certificate. Also I used several user names and passwords, the Administrator for my domain, the administrator for the local server. Do I need to do something to it to make it exportable? I can export the old certificate with the Export-ExchangeCertificate command. ScottL

There's no point in trying to export a self-signed certificate. It's of no use anywhere else. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

If you still cannot export it from MMC, please renew the certificate again. (add -PrivateKeyExportable:$True) Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "number" | New-ExchangeCertificate -PrivateKeyExportable:$True After that, try to export the newest certificate from MMC. Don't forget to enable services on the new certificate.Frank Wang

The command Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "number" | New-ExchangeCertificate -PrivateKeyExportable:$True worked great. I can export it and import it in my ISA server. Thank you all ScottLScottL
