Transfer SSL Cert to another server

[jgillin]

Does anyone know if there are any issues with transferring an SSL certificate to another server?
We used to have a domain on an internal server, then we switched it to a hosting company (and thus the IP address has changed, but the domain name is the same). Does anyone know if we can just copy and paste the cert to the new server?
Thanks for any help or suggestions

You should be able to backup/export and restore/import it no problem. It should work without errors as long as the common name/url has not changed. There are how to articles on MS's web site for export/import but the process is a bit differnt depending on what version of ISS is being used.

I followed it and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again
