Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • To manage certificates for a service on another computer, you can either create another instance of Certificates in the console or right-click Certificates - Service (Service Name) on Computer Name and click Connect to Another Computer.

  • For additional help on using Microsoft Management Console (MMC), click Help Topics on the Help menu.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
