SYMPTOMS
The secure bindings for a Web site in Microsoft Information Services (IIS) 6.0 are removed when you use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to install a new server certificate or to renew an existing certificate.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this issue, use the CertObj import method to install or to renew the server certificate. To do this, follow these steps:   Save the following Windows Script Host (WSH) code example as Cert_install.vbs. The following table describes the placeholders that are used in this code:

pfxfile = &quot;FilePath&quot; pfxfilepassword = &quot;Password&quot; set iiscertobj = CreateObject(&quot;IIS.CertObj&quot;)

iiscertobj.UserName = &quot;Administrator&quot; iiscertobj.UserPassword = &quot;AdminPassword&quot; iiscertobj.ServerName = &quot;ServerName&quot;

iiscertobj.InstanceName = &quot;MetabaseNode&quot; iiscertobj.Import pfxfile, pfxfilepassword, true, true  Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. Change to the folder on your hard disk drive where you saved the Cert_install.vbs file. Type cscript cert_install.vbs, and then press ENTER.
