Cannot export private key on IIS 8 server 2012

Hi All,

I just renewed one of our web certificates and im now trying to export the certificate to add to another server in a cluster. But the export wizard wont allow me to export the cert private key a sits greyed out?

Any way I can get round this?

I would bet the folks you renewed with would let you download your new certificate again.

Thanks Dan,

I obvious missed something when I renewed.

Im going to generate another CSR and create a new certificate from our internal CA. How do make this exportable during this process? as I have just created another base 64 encoded cert but i dont see any option to make exportable when im importing on the web server?
I would first try to backup the existing Certificate.  Here is a how to article:  https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/pfx-import-export-iis-8.htm#export%20pfx

Deleted old, i finished off the request through IIS and it allowed me to save for export. I have now imported onto the other server successfully.
