Hi I am currently running severs as listed below. I am new to this company and have been sent SSL certificates to upgrade and I haven't got a clue where to start as I have never had to do this before. I know that it has to go on an IIS part of the server but am unsure as to where to start. We also have access to Exchange over the internet. 3Com LAN View 3Com VLAN ADSL Internet Access via BT BB Bloxx Proxy Service Linux AAA - VPN Authentication Win 2K3 Active Directory Win 2K3 Exchange Server Win 2K3 File Win 2K3 Print Service Win 2K3 Win 2K3 Network Backup Win 2K3 Kaspersky 2000 Pro ActiveSMS XP Pro (T&A) Wi-Fi WebCam Wi-Fi Wi-Fi AS 400e i B Win 2K MSSQL 3Com VLAN NT 4 Various NT Domain Controller Win 2K Citrix Farm Win 2K Citrix Farm Win 2K Citrix Farm Win 2K File Server

Cooky, Prior to deploying any certs, you'll want to get familar with the AD CS for Windows Server http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa376539(VS.85).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772393(WS.10).aspx As far as being sent SSL certs, were they sent by a outside venodor, like Thawt or Verisign? These type of public facing certs you'll want to use on systems which will exchange requests from outside your internal network, for other systems which are internal (like file servers) you can publish your own ssl certs through AD CS.

Installing new SSL certs for IIS is relatively straightforward, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/59152a38-e526-40fc-a6ad-71f0d148e962.mspx?mfr=true http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis-7/ *Note that here you will do an "import" instead of creating a self signed certificate.
