I have the exact same problem as Mike, and can't find any
help in the web (looked for it intensively).

When I make certificate request with IIS certificate
wizard, and then try to export it to a buckup file (from
MMC), I cannot exprot the private key (it can't find the
key).
Of course then, when I get the replay to my request from a
CA (my own CA), I cannot install it to IIS and get the
message "Keyset does not exist".

my IIS run on win2K server.

thanks for any help Erez.
