Weird...on my dev box I can install the cert via Certificate MMC and drop it 
into the trusted root store successfully, but the same PFX file will not import 
into IIS "Details: The index value is invalid". Google-Fu fails me

It's actually easier than you think. :)

1)      Install cert (either via IIS or Certificates MMC)

2)      Wait for outage; change bindings

3)      Pat self on back

I have an IIS server that currently has a wildcard cert that expires in a few 
weeks. Due to licensing costs I am to replace this cert with a single web 
server cert, but am I correct in that I can install SSL certs at any time and 
the only time they take effect is when you change the SSL binding?


*         Install cert via IIS

*         Wait for appropriate service outage to flip certs then bind 443 to 
the new cert

*         Reset IIS

Amirite?
