Many organizations are still running Exchange 2007, and it comes as no surprise that transitioning from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 SP2 is one of the hot upgrades nowadays.<\/p>\n

In the following video tutorial<\/a><\/strong>, we demonstrate how to generate a Certificate signing request in SBS 2011, how to create a StartSSL account, and how to install and test your trusted SSL certificate. As you will see, the validation process at StartSSl web site is fully automated; only the ownership of the domain name, resp. email address are validated, hence the free certificate availability. There is a catch, though. Revoking a StartSSL certificate is not free. For example, if your server crashes, and you need to reissue the certificate, first you have to send a revocation request for the existing one. That process requires human intervention and StartSSL charges a moderate price for it (currently $24.99 USD). Backing up your SSL certificate in this case is crucial, and we demonstrate in our last step, how to export it (with your private key) to a PFX file.<\/p>\n
