I am trying to install an intermediate certificate for my dedicated server. I have tried several times with no success. After I install the plug in and save the console file.
I then go to IIS 6 and attempt to install the certificate but it gives me only the option to replace or remove the existing primary certificate.
I notice when you back to the console the only way to view the intermediate certificates that was just imported is to open the console file (in this case Console1.msc) is this why the wizard never goes into pending mode?? Below are the steps I took that was provided for me by my dedicated svr provider.
