Thanks, I've already seen that one and anothe, both refer to renewing SSLs where the CSR was originally generated in IIS 6.0 (1024-bit) and explains how to deal with this. It also explain how to set up a new CSR in Server 2003, however, SBS 2003 is different. You delete the self certificate and generate a new CSR.<br />
<br />
I now have the choice of processing the pending request or deleting it, which comes with all sorts of warnings.

Have you talked to GoDaddy support about next steps?<br />
I don't think you'll have any choice but to delete and re submit but have not actually done this in full disclosure...haven't had the need for 3rd party cert yet

I'm setting up a GoDaddy SSL certificate which requires a 2048-bit CSR, but SBS 2003 only gernerates a 1024-bit one.<br />
<br />
If I delete the pending certificate to restart the process will this screw everything up?<br />

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
