Is there any chance you can do a rolling upgrade rather than in-place? Doing so would help you avoid outages while you work through the inevitable problems...

That SSL Cert is the life-blood to this company, and when https is not working, they literally are losing money every minute it’s not working. Pretty scary position for somebody like me to be in, considering this entire task falls on my shoulders exclusively. Again, thank you ALL for all your incredible help – we are indeed lucky to have a resource like this list available.

(O.o) In answer to your question about CSR generation, if you're going to be installing a certificate on the ISA Server and only plan on using it there, you're going to have to create the CSR via IIS on another server. Once you get the certificate back from your chosen certificate authority, you'll have to install it on the surrogate IIS box, export it with the private key, and then import it into ISA Server.

In 2004, what we did previously was export our cert from our internal web server and installed it on our ISA Server. Then we simply published another web server (1 regular and 1 secure), so we had 1 listener for our regular Port 80 and another listener for Port 443. After upgrading to ISA 2006, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get the cert recognized to save my life. Just a FYI, we couldn’t run the upgrade from 2004 to 2006, because we were trying to upgrade from Standard to Enterprise. With that said, in order to install 2006, I had to first uninstall 2004 and install 2006 fresh. My question is: What is different about 2006 when it comes to certs? Must I generate the key and install the actual cert on the ISA Server itself? Since this is usually done from within IIS, can I generate a key within Windows Server 2003 itself since IIS won’t be running on the ISA Server? This is where I am very confused… Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks, Mike -- Cordially yours, Jerry G.
