certificate   

i am trying to test a certificate for a new exchange 2007 install with a 
trial from thawte.

i have been following the instructions as carefull as i can...  it fails 
though when i try to enable the certificate just imported....  it says 
invalid key.  so i try to remove it but it wont let me, again it say invalid 
key??  why wont it let me remove it if it's invalid??

so then i just try to create another new one... smae error.  i still could 
see the possibility that i hand an extra CRin the file or maybe one 
missing.... but now i can't remove it also.  so now i seem to have 2 bad 
ones imported.... do i just try for the third times the charm?  is there 
some ohter way to get these bad ones out?  is there a common mistake i may 
be making?
