ps New-ExchangeCertificate SYNTAX WHEN REQUESTING CERT Outside US

Question

I have been setting up a new Exchange Server 2019 and am stuck with the syntax to generate an SSL CSR via powershell where the domain name is not in the US

example mycompany.com.au and the FQDN of the server to be used in the cert is mail.mycompanyname.com.au

Is this the correct syntax for an .AU domain

New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -RequestFile "\\mymailserver\share\Mail.mycompany.com.au Cert.req" -FriendlyName "Mail.mycompany.com.au Cert" -SubjectName "C=AU,CN=mail.mycompanyname.com.au"

Answer 1

Hi there,

The RequestFile parameter that takes the UNC path as input was removed with the 2022 H1 Cumulative Updates release. To export the requested file to a UNC path, you must use the Set-Content cmdlet.

For the error, network name cannot be found it occurs if one of the following conditions is true:

-The network components on the domain controller are not configured correctly.
-You did not update the network drivers on the domain controller
-The server is unavailable or unreachable.

You can follow the troubleshooting steps from the below article and see if that helps you

Hi @Shane King

For the error "The network name cannot be found." you received, please check if you have correctly set the sharing/permission for this path "\FileServer01\Data"

You could try using "Run" to access this path to see if any issue:
