I have multiple certificates but unsure which ones are needed/in use

[TechCarnivore]

Hi Gang,
In my quest to configure OWA/RPC over HTTPS I created a few certificates. The thing I don't know which ones I am using or need to have available. Ideally I'd like to remove or archive any "unnecessary" certs, for the sake of simplicity.

How might I do this?

BTW -I've been using rpc/https for a few months now without issue thanks to the suggestions I read on this site!

Connect to OWA, and while you're connected, use the browser-based certificate examination features to look at the cert you are using. Write down all the details, especially the exact expiration date. With the expiration date, you should be able to examine your cert store and determine which of the certs there is actually the one being used.

BTW, chances are you will only need that one. I normally get one cert beyond the internally generated one, via purchasing from GoDaddy or Digicert, and I've deleted the auto-gen cert without issues once I've installed the 3rd party cert.

THe SBS wizards make it easy to generate a new local cert.
