We're rying to come up with a way to have centrally managed reminder system in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. This is for a large-ish network with a handful of people who could be managing this at any given time. An Excel spreadsheet just doesn't scale well for this, and Outlook tasks seems kind of clumsy. Obviously paid certs you generally get a reminder because GoDaddy wants the revenue, and Web server certs generate an event in the event log, but not every SSL cert is going to generate an event.....and not every cert is a paid cert.... We also have some other events and contracts that we'd like reminders for - so this isn't exclusive to SSL certs, though that is a driving factor. How are you all handling this? An application? A web-based "aaS" reminder system of some sort?
