I guess that depends on what you mean.

1. Did you have a problem renaming the CSR file that already exists?
2. Did you have a problem deleting the CSR file that already exists?
3. Did you add "-force:$true" to the cmdlet to overwrite the existing
CSR file?

-Force <SwitchParameter>
Use this parameter switch to overwrite an existing certificate
request file that matches the same file path as specified in
this cmdlet.
By default, this cmdlet will not overwrite existing files.


4. Did you tell the cmdlet to write the CSR file to a different path?

Changed the SRV record & still no help!
Still getting all kinds of errors in the exchange connectivity tests.
Alot of it looks like it's trying to go to the address of our website,
which is hosted else where!
I deleted the * (all Others) in my public DNS settings - why is it
still looking there?

If I was looking at this in a web browser that might make sense. But
if you're refering to your other posting at 3:59AM it doesn't answer
any of the questions I asked.

The connectivity test is exactly that: a test. It will test *all* methods
and most of them are supposed to fail. The idea here is to pay attention to
the one you expect to succeed and keep plugging at it until it does.

If you post the results of your latest test (privately if you so choose
again) then I can tell you what is still breaking.
