I wanted to post a follow-up to the same OCS related topic as before – I am still dealing with certificate requests and I had to deal with an external certificate request for OCS/Exchange 2007 as I was not getting the Communicator 2007 intergration that I we needed from the locally issued certificate we generated and needed a third party external certificate.. The problem that I had was I had not used the equivelent Powershell command to generate the request and was short on time.
I was trying to figure out the syntax for the following Powershell command:
New-ExchangeCertificate
As an old school guy, I was able to get pretty far on this request but as I was at a client I wanted it to be just right as you can imagine. I was directed to the following website that made it a snap for furture reference:

The whole process was a lot easier if you are in a crunch for time and will output exactly what you need in Powershell format. I was able to take the results and simply copy-and-paste the results into the Exchange 2007 Powershell window to produce the results I needed. Kind of like the old subnet calculators – you know – the onces that let you cheat!
