    Hi,

    Do we mean we create .inf file and we generate .req file using .inf file, then we generate .cer or .pfx file?

    If so, in my lab, I can use any user account to generate req file and generate .cer or .pfx file.

    But I suggest you check if we are still use all the certificates issued to certreq service account, and if we still need this certreq service account.

    Greetings, How you fixed your issue. Since I am attempting to Install EWS oversaw API on Apk Avangers. So we could more readily oversee it. I attempted various ways and watched heaps of recordings yet all to no end. How you got it done. Generously share your experience.
