I am getting the following error trying to Import or Request a New Exchange Certificate: Import-ExchangeCertificate : This operation can only be performed locally on a Microsoft Exchange server that has the Edge Transport, Hub Transport, Client Ac cess, or Unified Messaging server role installed. Please log on locally to a M icrosoft Exchange server that has one of the supported server roles installed a nd perform this operation again. At line:1 char:27 + import-exchangecertificate <<<< + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Import-ExchangeCertificat e], RoleDoesNotSupp...eTasksException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 9354821F,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemCon figurationTasks.ImportExchangeCertificate All functions of exchange are working correctly.

I assume this server has an Exchange role installed? Anything in the event logs? Smells like a DNS issue.

I am installing it on the 2007 exchange server. DNS looks fine (at least from what I can tell) No errors in Telnet, No errors under Exchange Console.

Not Telnet, I mean nslookup

How about the app log on the server itself? Any errors there?

Nothing that I can see. Any specific area?Sam Acra

I agree with you, it is very weird, because it doesnt seem to be related to Certificate at all, it doesnt matter what I do, I get the above error message. Something is not pointed correctly or at least something is missing.Sam Acra

Hi samacra, Could you please describle more detailed information about your scenario, and how did you import the certificate? Some information for you: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb851505(EXCHG.80).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124424(EXCHG.80).aspx I would use exbpa on the exchange 2007 server to confirm the exchange email system healthy, if you get some useful information, please post here, then we could do more research about the issue. It seems a connectivity issues to Global Catalog server. Regards!
