To request a certificate with the same key

  1. Open the Certificates console for the user, computer, or service you want to manage.

    Tip

    For instructions on creating a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that allows you to manage the certificates of a user account, computer account, or service account, see the appropriate article from the following list

  1. Manage certificates for your user account

  2. Manage certificates for a computer

  3. Manage certificates for a service

  1. In the console tree, select the correct store that has the certificate you want to request. For example, under Certificates – Current User, expand Personal, click Certificates.

    Note

    For information on the different view options, see Certificates Console (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209851).

  2. In the details pane, click the certificate associated with the public key you want to associate a new certificate.

  3. On the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then click Request Certificate with Same Key to start the Certificate Request Wizard.

  4. In the Certificate Request Wizard, provide the following information:

    • Click the type of certificate you want to request.

    • (Optional) If you have selected the Advanced check box and you have more than one certification authority available, choose the name of the certification authority that will issue the certificate.

    • Type a friendly name for your new certificate.

  5. After the Certificate Request Wizard has successfully finished, click OK.

Warning

  • To perform this procedure, the view mode must be organized by Logical Certificate Stores. For information on the different view options, see Certificates Console (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209851).

  • You can use this procedure to request certificates from an enterprise certification authority only. To request certificates from a stand-alone certification authority, you must request certificates by way of Web pages. On Microsoft Certification Authority (CA) installations, Web pages of a Windows certification authority are located at https:// servername/certsrv, where servername is the name of the server hosting the certification authority, by default.

    • Information about functional differences

    • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
