Yeah, I *finally* got past the "Downloading ActiveX Control" by uninstalling
Cert Srv, reboot, reinstall Cert Srv, reboot, install fix, reboot, install
fix again, reboot, install fix again, reboot. Honest :-(. After applying
the fix 3 times, it finally "took".

BUT...now I get this error. Any ideas?

Error

Your request failed. An error occurred while the server was processing your
request.

Contact your administrator for further assistance.

Request Mode:
newreq - New Request
Disposition:
(never set)
Disposition message:
(none)
Result:
The binding handle is invalid. 0x800706a6 (WIN32: 1702)
COM Error Info:
CCertRequest::Submit The binding handle is invalid. 0x800706a6 (WIN32: 1702)
LastStatus:
The operation completed successfully. 0x0 (0)
Suggested Cause:
No suggestions.

No hits on "certificate binding handle is invalid" (all words) on the M$ KB.
OK, plenty of hits, none that applied to Cert Srv.

So OpenSSL will let me generate client side and server (SSL) certs? This is
all for testing/sandbox use, not production.

Cheers,
Scott

Damn, I miss my Unix box...
