You can simply accept the pending request <br />
certreq -accept c:\path-to-file\file.cer<br />
<br />
<br />
Once that is done you can then simply proceed with the wizard in SBS to update with the new certificate.

Ok I may have screwed up a bit.<br />
I purchased a UCC SSL cert for my domain/SBS 2011.<br />
I made a request using the utility in IIS not Exchange or the SBS console.<br />
( this is where I think I erred).<br />
I have my request cert approved and stuck installing it in Exchange.<br />
Since I did not generate it in Exchange it does not show up as a pending request.<br />
Do I cancel the original and resubmit, a..in Exchange or another place.<br />
Or can I get through this .<br />
It only lists the external address for my mail server but &nbsp;can add other names (like remote.domain.com, etc.)

Installing SSL on Exchange SBS 2011

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.

Exchange

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
