Hi Cliff, thanks for the explanation. Is there command or GUI available to show the expiration status of the root?<br />
<br />
Thanks and regards, Brad.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have noticed a change in behaviour for SBS Self Signed Certificates recently, specifically relating to the renewal period.<br />
<br />
From memory, they used to renew for two years, however three recent renewals done on our client SBS servers have only renewed for slightly over two months. This has happened on both SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 servers, fully patched and updated to date.<br />
<br />
Obviously having to remember to renew client server certificates every few months will become a hassle!<br />
<br />
Has anyone else seen this and/or know why the renewal period has changed?<br />
<br />
Thanks &amp;&nbsp;Seasons Greetings To All from Melbourne, Australia!

SBS Small Business Server Self Signed Certificate Renewal Period

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).
