Problem with Imported GoDaddy Certificate

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



SBS 2003 R2 Premium, with ISA.

I am having difficulty getting ISA to see a just-purchased GoDaddy SSL
certificate. Here's the rub...

24 hours ago I initated the SSL cert purchasing process at GoDaddy
after first creating a certificate request on my SBS (using a temporary
IIS web site created for the purpose), saving the csr file in the
process. Between having supplied the csr to GoDaddy and them returning
the generated certificate (about 12 hours) I had - for completety
unrelated reasons - to restore the server from a backup made just prior
to starting the certification.

Now, the restore was successful and all is working fine on the SBS,
However, the pending certificate request is no longer present on the
server (because of the restore), so I cannot complete the GoDaddy
certificate import using the "Process the pending request..." action in
IIS.

I have tried importing the GoDaddy .crt file directly (and their
intermediate certificate) to the computer's Personal certificate store
and it is available there. In IIS I can attach the certificate to the
Default web Site and companyweb, but in ISA 2004 the certificate is not
visible for selection when attempting to add it to the web listener
(only the previously generated self-signed certificates are visible).

I also tried to fool IIS into allowing me to complete the certificate
import process by creating a new CSR in IIS and then completing te
pending request with the GoDaddy certificate. No go, though - IIS seems
to know the csr and certificate don't match.

Can anyone advise how I might resolve this issue? TIA.
