Problem with create/submit a SSL certificate request

Hi experts,

(assumption: ComputerName: Machine1; my website:www.abc.com)

I have follow the instructions ashttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/290625/en-us for create a certificate request. When I created the request, I typed Machine1 asCommon Name. However when I try to submit such a request as suggested with e.g.http://abc.com/certsrv/ , it shows the 404 page not found error. I' m pretty sure my IIS works and other pages are working fine also.

I was wondering,

1. Did I do anything wrong with that Common Name? I 've also tried to make a new request and insert e.g. abc.com asCommon Name, but when I try to submit the request, some thing happened with 404 error.

2. Is there any other way I can submit the request other than the way as suggested in kb290625?

Thanks in advance,

Manfred
