title: Renewing a wildcard SSL certificate in IIS 6 (1024 to 2048 bit)
body: <p>I currently have a wildcard SSL certificate running on IIS 6 and needs to be renewed.  The new certificate bit-strength is now 2048 (the current one that needs to be renewed is 1024).  Is there any easy way to get a certificate request file that is 2048 bit when renewing from a 1024?</p>
  
  <p>I don't see the option to change bit strength for renewing an SSL certificate (I only see this when creating a totally new one from scratch).</p>
