I want to setup a certificate for remote access to server
Hello All,
I want to create a certificate for my sbs2011. The purpose of this is only for remote access to users computers. With this particular client they do not want to take advantage of exchange. So possibly ordering a UCC will not be applicable for this particular client. Anyways, the only function I wish for the client to use is remote access to the server. How do I create a working SSL for this configuration only. My A record already has remote.mycompany.com.
Thanks...

why do we use UCC's instead of of just one wildcard?
Pricing and compatability
Wildcard certificates are best used when it is desirable to secure a large number of independent services and the cost of purchasing certificates would be prohibitive otherwise. As I mentioned earlier, support for SNI is still not as widespread as one would hope, so you will likely need one IP address or port per server unless you are certain that your user base is modern enough to support SNI. One additional note of caution, wildcard certificates can be finicky with Microsoft Exchange, especially versions older than 2010 and it is not currently possible to use a wildcard certificate with Microsoft Lync http://bit.ly/Zm8vBn

Well it was nice having a conversation about wildcards, even though the topic is how to create a SSL for my company. I figured it out on my own, by just using IIS Manager. I'm going to close without points as this question was not really answered.

First comment was using a self signed certificate, which is what you decided to use!

Before asking the question I already purchased the ssl, although I didn't state that. I was asking how to configure and install properly. I asked "How do I create a working SSL for this configuration only?" this was never answered. Sorry, I'm not trying to give "free points out." I purchased this account 3 years ago and I'm finding people love to give links and quick answers in an attempt to pay for their own account. I think your a nice guy... but the question was not answered properly! Don't hate me and please don't feel like I screwed you. Its not only you! I'm paying for "real" answers!

If you withhold information how is anyone supposed to give you an acceptable answer?

To SouthMod...
I'm lazy... Thats why I purchase this account to give me quick answers. Secondly, while I am reading these so call solutions. I am proactively looking for the correct answer on my own.
Possibly, I should stop using your services as I am finding it is no use to me. I mean, I also know how to use google! My only problem is I have money to spend instead of people who get and become a part of your forum to keep your services. Am I suppose to be impressed?
Lastly, Please close this answer as I am done and don't have anything else to say, and this is not a public forum... Zero Credits!
