SYMPTOMS
If you export a certificate and specify the file format of ".epf", Outlook attempts to use the format ".pfx" instead. The result is an unsuccessful export.



WORKAROUND
Use the following steps to correctly export a certificate:
 * 1) Start Outlook with a version V1 certificate installed.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then on the Security tab, click Import/Export digital ID.
 * 3) Click to select Export, and then click Select.
 * 4) In Select Certificate, click to select a certificate to export, and then click OK.
 * 5) Click Browse, and in the Locate Security Profile dialog box, type the file name you want to save, and set the File of type to Exchange Security (*.epf). Click Open, and then click OK.

NOTE: You must have configured a V1 Exchange certificate in order to have a certificate to export with the .epf extension. Exchange certificates use the Exchange Security (*.ecf) format while Internet certificates use the Internet Security (*.pfx,*.p12) file formats.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
