You just need to export the certificate from the certificate manager MMC
snapin, and then import it on the other server.

Subject: OT: Security Cert, transferable?

Hey all,

Is is possible to transfer a security cert issued by a certifying authority
such as GeoTrust from one host to another?  From what I can gather, it's not
possible because the CSR and private key are specific to the host they're
generated by, and these are used by the certifying authority to generate the
public cert.  But, I'm not sure I have a full grasp on how it all works. 
Here's my understanding:

- Generate CSR and private key at the host
- Send private key to certifying authority
- Purchase cert, certifying authority issues public certificate based on
private key
- I install public certificate at my host, all three components must be
there: CSR, Private Key, Public cert

Do I have this correct or am I missing something there.
