Re: Configure IIS to install certificate and enable SSL
My problem is I am in no way a developer. I know my way around batch
scripting but that about it. VBS and Jscript I would say im only a beginner.
Idealy I was hopeing to find some example of what im looking for but it seems
that what im trying to do is not done very much by the lack of information i
can find.
I have looked on msdn and what i have found is way above my scripting
ability.
I will keep trying to reasearch but i have a feeling if i want to achive
what im trying to do i am going to have to teach my self VBS.
Thanks for the help though.
