Need help creating self issued certificate?

[mrbeepa]

When I request a new certificate (using the wizard) it defaults to a domain controller certificate template (which is fine it has the authentication purposes that I need.) The problem is during the wizard when I go to set the properties. In the subject name field I am trying to get the certificate issued to our remote.office.ourbusiness.net website but when I enter that in the subject field (as Domain Component and/or as alt subject name DNS entry) it adds them while in the wizard but when the certificate is created it changes the field to our server name?
I find no way to go back in and edit this field. (which would of course be absurd!) So what I need to know is how to get the wizard to take what I enter into the properties fields instead of to the default?

I'm hoping I just need to adjust some permissions somewhere or something like that?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm quite a novice when it comes to networking.

Do you have a PKI environment set up? You really need to have an enterprise server with certificate services so that you can change the certificate details.
