I am trying to export a certificate from one iis 5.0 server to another, I
have followed the instructions on the following articles:

Backup:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;232136

Restore:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;232137

1. The backup procedure prodoces a file type .pfx
2. The restore procedure asks you to look for a .key file
3. I have tried the restore procedure with the .pfx file that is produced
and it errors with: Cannot import keyring backup file, either you entered
the wrong password or the certificate has expired.

Well I entered the right password and the cert hasn't expired. Does anyone
have experience of doing this and can they help?

Many thanks.
