Cisco Firepower FMC Wildcard SSL Certificate Remote Access AnyConnect VPN

                 Changing the Wildcard SSL on a Cisco Firepower FMC for a AnyConnect VPN   When changing or renewing a Wildcard SSL for Cisco AnyConnect on the FMC you want to use the appropriate export function on the originating device so you don't run into errors.   Exporting the Wildcard SSL can be tricky if you use the wrong process.  If you are exporting from a Windows based server, DON'T export from the IIS Console.  Open up the MMC and open the Certificates module and export from that method.  It will export the correct path with the cert into the pfx file.   Importing into FMC will be seamless and both the CA and ID will be correct.   Otherwise, if you use the IIS export method the path for the CA is incorrect and you will get a red X on the CA status.  Hope this helps someone save some time.

Because Microsoft broke the SSL renew process in Exchange for both the ECP and powershell with Exchange 2016 CU23 and Exchange 2019 CU12, here is a work around.   Here's a quick step-by-step summary: First open MMC with the Certificates plug in. Drag-n-drop your new certificate (missing the key on the upper left part of the certificate icon) to the "Personal" certificate store. This I did because the name of the "Web Hosting" store is a so called friendly name and not the real name of the store, and I could not remember the real name which is needed for the command prompt utility  certutil . Instead I just remembered that the real name of "Personal" is "My". Makes the rest easy, and once done I just move the certificate back into "Web Hosting". Once the new certificate (missing the key) is in ...
