Into the certificates MMC (for Local Computer -> Personal Certificates).

Delete the one without a private key.

Subject: Exchange 2007 Cert Problem

MY SSL cert used for OWA is expiring in a week and I'm attempting to install 
the new cert.

I created the Cert request a month ago, ran it through the CA and got the cert. 
After that I got caught up in other things and I never installed the cert.

When I went to install the cert, I noticed there were a number of invalid certs 
on the machine, so to clean things up, I used Remove-Exchange Cert to delete 
all of the invalid and outdated certs. Looking back, I think, this is where I 
made the mistake, as I inadvertently deleted the cert request.

I imported the cert OK using Import-ExchangeCertificate

When I tried to use Enable-ExchangeCertificate, it errored out
Enable-ExchangeCertificate : The certificate with thumbprint 
7C4656C3061F7F4C0D67B319A855F60EBC11FC44 was found but is not valid for use 
with Exchange Server
(reason: PrivateKeyMissing).



Googling told that I needed to start from scratch, so I created a new CSR, 
rekeyed the cert with the CA and downloaded the new cert. Importing now errors 
out:

Import-ExchangeCertificate -path 
c:\Certs\1-2013\Cert\wrightimg.com\gd_iis_intermediates.p7b

Import-ExchangeCertificate : Cannot import as there already is a certificate 
with a thumbprint of 7C4656C3061F7F4C0D67B319A855F60EBC11FC44.


I tried removing the previously imported cert:

Remove-exchangecertificate -thumbprint 7C4656C3061F7F4C0D67B319A855F60EBC11FC44

Remove-ExchangeCertificate : The certificate with thumbprint 
7C4656C3061F7F4C0D67B319A855F60EBC11FC44 was found but is not valid for use 
with Exchange Server
(reason: PrivateKeyMissing).


Where do I go now?
