Author IIS 5 Move SSL Cert

Can you install an SSL cert on a virtual server and then move it to
another virtual server? We're changing domain names and we will need
to replace our Cert on the OWA directory. I can't request the new cert
from that directory since it has the current one in use.

Hi,

You can move the certificate to another server as long as you keep the
domain name (well, you could move anyhow but the there will be a message
that it is not valid) all you have to do is to export it from IISAdmin and
import it via the Certifcates MMC. But if you are changing the domain name
there will be problem.

Hope I understood your question correctly.

How can you export the certificate from IISAdmin? when I click the Server Certificate there are only 2 options: renew, remove.
How can you import from Certificate MMC?

If I generate my own self-signed certificate using Java tool "keytool", how can I use it with IIS? When I go to the Server Certificate, it only has an option Import a certificate from a Key Manager backup file. how can I get a such backup file?

Thanks
