I'll be moving my website from NT4/IIS4 to
Server2003/IIS6 this week and wanted any heads-up
experience from anyone having moved a VeriSign
Certificate to a new server. Old hardware/software is
going away so I'm truly moving it and hopeing for as
little interruption as possible.

Seems to be multiple ways to do this in the certificate
wizard, (assign existing, import fro key manager backup,
import a pfx file, or copy/move from remote site) but
wanted the advice of experience.

Thanks to any willing to impart their wisdom.

I'm sure the way to back-up a cert to a key file on NT4 and then import
it to IIS6 should work ok.

To be on the safe side I would do that prior of discarding the old box.
