I have a cer file but no private key. I need to convert this cer file to a pfx format, but I'm not sure how to do it without the private key. Can someone help me with this conversion process?
Upon completion of the import process, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the certificate has been successfully imported. At this point, you can open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) on your Windows server.
