    Hello All,

    i have SSL certificate from godaddy for my exchange server 2010. i need to renew it in the coming month. I called godaddy for knowing the down time and they told me that i need 24hrs down time for my webmail url. Does it affect my users who access mails using outlook?

    Thanks

    That is how to create and submit the request. You can go that far (and further) without any impact to your users.

    Of course, you will have to pay GoDaddy first.

    Once you have downloaded the certificate (you may need to contact GoDaddy tech support), post back if you need additional assistance.

    I'll bet you could find (with Google)  a step-by-step guide to install the downloaded certificate too.

    Hint: you go back to the same section of Exchange and select the option to finish the certificate request process. It may only appear after you create the request (and the exact words may be different (I do not have a 2010 interface in front of me).

    Hi,

    We regularly use GoDaddy to get new certificates. We create a new certificate request and this gives us a window of about 3 days where the new certificate and the old one are still valid. We then replace the certificate on Exchange and this doesn't require downtime or an IISReset.

    I've made instructions on how to install a new certificate on Exchange. Ignore the Exchange Admin Center method as this is for Exchange 2013 but follow the PowerShell method which is for both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013. See here: http://markgossa.blogspot.com/2015/09/exchange-2013-install-certificate.html.

    To request a certificate from GoDaddy, see this link: https://uk.godaddy.com/help/generating-a-certificate-signing-request-csr-exchange-server-2010-6086

    Thanks.

    you dont need any downtime you just switch it out. Maybe at most a couple minutes if you have to do an IISRESET.
