Hi
We have had a strange thing happen recently where we have VPN access to
a SBS 2003 domain.

We use Certificates to connect to the Server via VPN.

The Certification Authority has reissued two certificates - one for the
Server that hosts SBS 2003 and one for Microsoft Exchange.

We uncovered this when users were not able to verify the Server when
trying to connect via VPN. An error 778 message was being prompted on
the client end when trying to connect.

So I decided to remove the new certificates seeing that the previous
ones were still valid till 2007.

Users were then able to connect again.

But a few hours later the Certification Authority reissued the Server a
new certificate and the clients were unable to connect again.

My question is why would the CA be reissuing a new certificate for the
Server in the fist place and then again after I delete it? Conisidering
we have not touched any settings on the Server since VPN has been
working fine for over a year now?

Regards
Dominic
