It's ok, just redirect the 404 from http to https. Your cert is installed correctly.

Are you setting the REQUIRED SSL on the right place? On HTTP set 404 error to HTTPS and now should work.

Make it easy. Force SSL on http, the on error page redirect to HTTPS )

it's "working" when you try to access the site via http you have a 404 (not found) and when you access the https it redirects to a 404 eheheh Check where you putted the rule )

Depends on how you configure IIS, if the HTTP is available you don't have error. If you force SSL on HTTP you will have :) No problem, place the rule in the "middle".

it works ) You have the choice: http://www.sslshopper.com/iis7-redirect-http-to-https.html

Hi. 4 disks means you can use different types of raid: RAID 0+1 = 1800 GB usable RAID 5 = 2800 usable RAID 1 + RAID 1 (2 disks + 2 disks) = 1000 GB + 1000GB Said that, I assume they are 10k disks. Depending on what you want to do, creating 2 partitions is not the best idea. On you C:\ drive you will have Windows & programs, do you really need 1000 GB?!?! This can be taken as example: FIRST RAID 1 --> part #1 = 300 GB - Windows / Programs --> part #2 = XX GB (I don't know how much do you need) - E-mail and documents --> part #3 = XX GB (if you still have some space...) - Backup SECOND RAID 1 --> part #1 = XX GB - Database --> part #2 = XX GB - Backup / other if not you can use a RAID 5 in a similar way, with the first solution you will have better performance because of the 4 disks are separated in 2 groups of 2. No matter if you plan to use exchange and SQL or others software... both e-mail and database are DATABASES and use disk... it's a good idea to keep them separately. If you need help... I'm here :)

You must talk again with the provider of your cert. Usually when you create a new request, you enter all these things and the your receive a crt file.

Repeat the process, create a new request.

But you have the .CRT file? If yes you can easily import it by following the procedure described in the link.

I just tried here at work... I downloaded the CRT file and imported to IIS with no problem...

Well the cer format should work...

Try this: http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-microsoft-iis-7.htm Tell me where you have problems.

You can do this by setting the right permission: properties > security > advanced > change permissions > SELECT USER / GROUP > then DENY the "CREATE FOLDER AND APPEND DATA" Pay attention, this will not LIMIT the number of sub-folder (you CANNOT do this), this prevent users from create a new folder inside that folder.

Yes it works. Ask your SSL provider... Maybe they can give you another format. From what I know you can't convert certs files.

I don't understand what is the green bar you are talking... but now you have the cert installed or not? What happens if you type HTTPS your site.com?

Mhhhh no you should see the lock before "HTTPS". If you type HTTPS://yoursite do you have something?

It should be automatic... Bah...

Errors on windows side?

welcome again :) Wait... Wait... Wait... And... Wait...

I think that in your request there's already something that knows where to go :)

Yes it is... anyway start admin tool group policy management.

Depends on how do you set permissions... Check the default domain policy. By default the "password must meet minimal security. Bla bla bla" is enabled )

Welcome to the beautiful World of certs ) Create a new CSR request from IIS :)

It works more or less in this way: You receive a cert, open IIS import and give the file just received. The auth process will continue until your cert is confirmed. At this point you should receive something else per e-mail (usually) which is the last part of your file. Upload it to IIS and done )
