I have a Windows 2016 server with the Windows Server Essentials Experience installed for Anywhere Access and everything was working fine until the SSL Cert expired and I needed to create a new CSR. All I get is “An error occurred while setting up your domain name” and that’s as far as I could get. I have uninstalled WSEE, rebooted and reinstalled with the same issue. I then setup a new VM for WSEE and I get is the issue below with the same error.
I open up Windows Server Essentials Dashboard
Select “Set up Anywhere Access”
Select “Click to configure Anywhere Access”
On the “Set up Anywhere Access” > Next
On the “Set Up Your Domain – Getting Started” > Next
On the “Set Up Your Domain – Do you own a domain name?” I select “I want to use a domain name I already own” and put in the domain name > Next
On the “Set Up Your Domain – Manually configure your domain name” I check the box “I have manually configured my domain name” > Next
On the “Set Up Your Domain – Set up a trusted SSL certificate” I specify the domain name prefix, select “I want to purchase a trusted SSL certificate for the domain name” then click on “Certificate request details” > Next
I get the following error:
In the Dashboard.log file I get this error:
