The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

iis, ssl, host, header

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting the SSL certificate on our IIS 6.0 site working.

I generated a CSR and got the certificate, installed it in the Certificates snap in as usual and added using the directory security tab in IIS manager like normal.

I then entered the command line command from the adminscripts folder to make SSL work with a host header where the two arguments are changed for the site:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/xxxxxxxxxx/SecureBindings ":443:secure.mysite.com"

For some reason the darn thing won't work! I even checked the internet DNS server to make sure the A record was in there for the domain and it sure is.

I've verified the certificate is installed and valid. The SecureBindings command went through just fine and says the header is added.

I'm not using a wildcard certificate, just a single common name certificate, but this should still work since I entered the secure bindings command for the matching host header.

It still won't work. Any ideas? Maybe this relates to the problem I'm having in question 22880718.
