I am trying to follow the instructions in this article to create a custom certificate to support SSL on a web server.

I'm stick on the following step:

Click on Personal – All Tasks – Advanced Operations – Create Custom request

The problem is that on the web server (Windows Server 2003 R2) I don't have an "Advanced Operations" option under "All Tasks". I do on my desktop machine (Windows 7), but not on the server. All the documentation I can find indicates that it should be available on WS-2003-R2, but it just isn't.

Note: I'm going through this manual process because I need to specify a alternate host names in the CSR, which you can't do through the IIS 6.0 console certificate managment functionality.

Any suggestions for how to make this option show up?
