Assign a private key to a new certificate after you use the Certificates snap-in to delete the original certificate in Internet Information Services
Often users will make the request for a new certificate then reinstall an older cert while waiting on the new one, this breaks the link that IIS keeps with the location of the Private key. When installing the new Cert IIS (the certificate wizard) will report that is cannot find the Private Key. This relationship can repaired by using CertUtil.exe.
