Managing SSL Certificates in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, there is no native graphical “Certificate Manager” tool built directly into the Exchange Management Console (EMC). Instead, managing certificates is primarily handled through the Exchange Management Shell (PowerShell), the Windows Microsoft Management Console (MMC), or third-party GUI utilities like the DigiCert Certificate Utility or the historical U-BTech Certificate Manager.

Here is how to perform standard certificate management tasks for Exchange Server 2007 using the official native toolset. 1. Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

To request a new SSL certificate from a trusted public Certificate Authority (CA), you must use the Exchange Management Shell.
