Good Afternoon,

I hope everyone is doing well.  Were running Server 2003 SP1 and I generated
a request through /localhost/certsrv and I chose the option to mark Key as
exportable and I specified a .pvk file to export the key.
I then went into the CA and issued the Cert.  I then went into the Issued
Certs and exported to binary file.
I then imported the Cert into the Personal folder with hopes that I could
export the private key, but that option wasn't available.  I have a .cer
file but I can't get the key to go with it.  What do I do with this .pvk
that was generated with the request?

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
In God We Trust!

You will need to get the .cer file issued by your CA, then install it on the
requester machine.
after that you can then export it from the local store including the private
keys.
