Why would I want to use this when I already have an SSL cert on Exchange?
Because when it's time to renew, you can renew for free.
How is it free? Is there a public CA? I don't get what the catch is. I currently use a DigiCert certificate..

What part of Let's Encrypt have you never heard of?

No catch, it's not something that really costs money to provide. The EFF, one of the most important non-profits in all of technology, has been providing certs for free for quite some time now. SSL Certs are definitely something that you'd expect to be free, it just took a bit for the market to iron itself out.

Defiantly was a good project started by Mozilla, Cisco and others. Helped and stopped companies taking advantage and charging stupid prices on wildcard certs as well.

Download the Latest Release of win-acme from here
https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/releasesExtract the Zip file to the C:\letsencrypt folder (You can change this to your own folder).
Modify the C:\letsencrypt\scripts\ImportExchange.ps1 line 94 from
FileName = (Join-Path -Path $StorePath -ChildPath "$TargetHost.pfx")
to
FileName = $StorePath
Modify the C:\letsencrypt\scripts\PSScript.bat file to thispowershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ./Scripts/ImportExchange.ps1 %2 IIS,SMTP,IMAP,POP 1 %1 %3Then run the following to get the lets encrypt setup
letsencrypt.exe --plugin manual --manualhost mail.domain.com,autodiscover.domain.com,webmail.domain.com,autodiscover.domain2.com --validation selfhosting --installation iis,manual --installationsiteid 1 --script "./Scripts/PSScript.bat" --scriptparameters "{0} {5} C:\ProgramData\win-acme\httpsacme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org\mail.domain.com-all.pfx"Then your SSL in your Exchange should change to the Let's encrypt one.
NOTE:See the source for the Import to Exchange SSL fix below:
Thank you for posting these instructions. I just ran this on a 2013 server and everything worked for the most part. The only issue I ran into is that the certificate only generated 1 of the 2 names on the certificate.
"--manualhost mail.domain.com,autodiscover.domain.com" included the first domain but not the autodiscover domain as a subject alternative name. Any idea what I am missing?
Thanks

I figured it out. I added single quotes at the beginning and end of the domain list.

Awesome! If anything I will change my guide if I find it causing issues.

You said, it only works with 1.9.12.2. that is a very broad statement (What only works on this version? ). Figuring out what you stated on the broad statement, based on the only context I could figure out, was that https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/issues/832 has been solved on that version.

No. I very clearly stated that your link in the OP now points to 2.0.0 (BETA). And that this process does not work with that.

Yeah - the process shouldn't be needed anymore, because 2.0 apparently includes it.

Except couldn't launch
wacs.exe. It crashed everytime.
Switched back to 1.9 and it all worked.Also has nothing to do with his instructions being bad by pointing to "Latest"
