Re: Unable to install Godaddy cert on SBS R2 Standard box



R2 must be more restrictive than R1. I installed a GoDaddy cert this way without renaming it. AHA! Another Microsoft Gotcha!

Hi Edwin,

Yes that is what I have done in my previous installs including this one. However when I chose the file this way it didn't accept it. That is when I renamed the extension and then it worked.

Couldn't you just click the Look for files of type dropdown and select *.* then select the cert file? Or am I missing something. I don't see the previous posts on this so forgive me if I'm clueless.

I was able to resolve my issue:

When you receive the file from Godaddy it is in a .crt file and Windows is looking for a .cer. This has not been a problem for my other servers except this one. I spoke with a Goddday tech and he just said to rename the extension to what windows is looking for. As soon as I did that everything worked.

Hi Jacky,

In reference to :

"Please create a new request,and request for a new certificate from
Godaddy(issue a new certificate),then install the new certificate. Don't
use the old request and corresponding certificate file."

I have done that 3 times. I did not make any changes while waiting for the cert which arrived within seconds of the request.

Hi John,

Thanks for posting here.

From the description, I understand the issue is that you get an error when
you install the certificate issued by Godaddy. If I am off base, please
don't hesitate to let me know.

Let us refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Please create a new request,and request for a new certificate from
Godaddy(issue a new certificate),then install the new certificate. Don't
use the old request and corresponding certificate file.

if there were any changes made after the request and before obtaining the
certificate - the issue may happen. So not to do any changes to the server
before you get the certificate
from Godaddy.
