Godaddy SSL certificate adding key

I have Server 2003 R2 with Exchange 2007.

I am trying to create a public SSL certificate I can install on the server. I generate the certificate request from IIS and copied the crt file to godaddy. I generated the certificate by opening IIS Manager > expanding server name > expanded web sites > right click on "Default Web Site" > directory security > server certificates > next > create a new certificate > "Prepare the request now, but send it later > Name: "Default Web Site", bit length 2048, and left "select cryptographic service provider (CSP) for this certificate" unchecked > entered Org name and Org Unite > common name: mail.mydomain.com > Country, State, City > let it default file name c:\certreq.txt.

I downloaded the completed file from goDaddy and imported into mmc > certificates > and imported the crt file from GoDaddy. Went back to IIS Manager and deleted the pending certificate > Assign an existing certificate > and choose my certificate from GoDaddy. The problem is this does not contain a key to correspond with that certificate to secure my Outlook Web Access. How do i accomplish this?

Will be good if you can run through this "Installing the SSL Certificate into IIS" section in context to GD cert
  https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sbs/2007/08/21/how-to-install-a-public-3rd-party-ssl-certificate-on-iis-on-sbs-2003/

Here is some related EE discussion, note the part of the intermediate cert as well from GD

I am on "Installing the SSL Certificate into IIS" step 8+9 i choose the godaddy CRT file and i get "The pending certificate request for this response file was not found this request may be canceled. you cannot install selected response certificate using this wizard."
https://www.godaddy.com/help/exchange-server-2013-install-a-certificate-4774 Explains how to do it. It's a little screwy with godaddy, for some reason. They require you to install their Intermediate certificates first (This is a dumb requirement)
I've already tried importing the p7b file into my intermediate certificate authority then finish my process request but it gets stuck "The pending certificate request for this response file was not found this request may be canceled. you cannot install selected response certificate using this wizard."
Never mind there was enough time i spun a sbs2011 server and got the certificate installed and was able to export the certificate along with the key as a pfx file and it isntalled on my 2003 server.
