Hi Just wondering I want to renew SSL wildcard cer for our Exchange Server 2016, should I go: EMC, Server - Certificate and import .PFX file with private key?

Do I still need to do the same on local computer store or IIS?

Thanks a lot,
Mang

    Here are the procedures in short

    • Import the new certificate in EMC in all exchange servers, reverse proxy (if you have one)
    • Assign the services to the new certificate
    • Test all services and see if the new certificate is imported successfully
    • Remove the expired certificate from the EMC

    Note: While you import the certificate through EMC, the new certificate will be imported in certificate store of the computer also automatically. In IIS, check, if the new certificate is updated in bindings of the Exchange applications after importing through EMC. This will be also handled automatically
