I am requesting a cert for a server and I get the cert but for some reason the private key isn't available and I can't figure out why. Commands to request the key are as follows: certreq –new client.inf client.req certreq –submit client.req client.cer Select Certification Authority dialog box, select the xxxxx certreq –accept client.cer When I import the cert into the server, the private key isn't shown as available? I have done this in the past w/o a problem. Is there something wrong that I am missing? Client.inf [NewRequest] Subject = "CN=server.domain.com" MachineKeySet = True Exportable = TRUE KeyLength = large number [RequestAttributes] CertificateTemplate = SCCMConfigMgrWorkgroupClientCertificate TIA Paul

How do you import the cert into the server? Are you exporting the certificate along with its private key after the certreq -accept command completed and then importing the pfx file into your server? /Hasain

Importing but on completion of import the private key is unavailable. Very odd. -- Paul
