Got some problems with backing up and restoring a certificate in W2K after
server rebuild, but support in Belgium gave me promotion code to send a new
certificate request. No my WI works again :-)

I'm curious which 3rd party certs people are using? I'm using trial certs
from verisign now and things are going well, but I've heard the others are
cheaper for the same cert type.

That's the way we do it, and it is a major pain. Different OSes handle the
installation of a trusted root CA differently, and it causes problems every
time a new user is added. It is also a pain if they go to, say, an internet
cafe where the PCs are so locked down that they don't have the right to add
the cert. On the plus side, we did save (a little) money.
