After you receive the certificate from the CA, use the Import-ExchangeCertificate command to import it.

To import the certificate request

  1. Open the Exchange Management Shell on the local server.
  2. On the command line, type

The filepath parameter above specifies the location where you saved the certificate file that was provided by the third-party CA.

When you run this command, it creates a Thumbprint output parameter that you use to enable to a certificate in the next step.

    In the Services parameter, specify the services you want to assign to this certificate. At a minimum, you should specify SMTP and IIS.
