This is very common in an environment where a load-balancer is used to share the load of a website across several different servers. This is also becoming more common as wildcard certificates and UC SSL certificates increase in popularity because they enable a single certificate to work on multiple different domains or subdomains using SSL Host Headers . What about when you set up a new server or switch hosting companies? How do you move the current SSL certificate to the new server? What if you need to move it to a different type of server? The answers to all of those questions are contained in the following pages. Essentially, you will export SSL certificates from the server that they are currently installed on, move SSL certificates to the new server, and then import SSL certificates on the new server.

There is a 25-day grace period from the time of installation of Key Management Service (KMS) clients before notifications to activate are displayed to the user. If you want to deploy an image, you must rearm your Office 2013 installation before you capture the image. If you do not rearm, users see notification dialog boxes at the time that the image is deployed, instead of 25 days after deployment. The 25-day grace period gives ample time for a KMS host to be found and activation to succeed. If activation is successful, users do not see notifications to activate.

After installing a primary under a central admin site you may get the following message when attempting to open the console at the primary site level:  "Your Configuration Manager console is in read-only mode while this site completes tasks related to maintenance mode". This usually indicates that the initial replication between the CAS and the primary isn’t complete yet.  Monitor rcmctrl.log on the CAS and also the Database Replication view in the Monitoring workspace on the CAS.  Once the link state says ‘Link is active’ for the child sites then the replication should be complete and you should be able to open the console at the primary without getting the read-only message.  Also note that this replication may take some time.  My environment took at least an hour to complete.
