Unable to generate csr, Please use a valid file name

I've been attempting to generate a new certificate signing request on our Exchange 2013 server.  In the past we've never had a problem but we seem to be stuck today.  When we try to output the new csr to one of our network shares we see the following
error.  
"Please use a valid file name when you run the New-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet on server server1 with the -RequestFile parameter. The file should not exist in target folder. Parameter name: RequestFile"
We've use this share location before without problems, the Exchange Trusted Subsystem has write intermissions on this location as described online but we still receive the error.  I've tried creating new locations but haven't had any success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
We can access the Exchange Certificate Management UI through the EAC in Exchange 2013 by selecting
Servers and then Certificates to create a new certificate to have a try.
Alternatively, we can try the following command:
$Data = New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -SubjectName "c=US, o=contoso inc, cn=server.contoso.com" -DomainName mail.contoso.com, contoso.com, autodiscover.contoso.com -PrivateKeyExportable $true
Set-Content -path "C:\Certificates\MyCertRequest.req" -Value $Data

  • [Redwood] Abap_run error : Please choose a valid variant name

    Hello all,
    We have a problem with running ABAP programs using some variants : we have 30 variants but the program can only run with 25 variants, with the other 5 left the program displays this error :
    Please choose a valid variant name
    We then decided to run RSI_IMPORT_ABAP_PROGRAMS and RSI_IMPORT_VARIANTS but the script still fails and shows the "Please choose a valid variant name" error message.
    We have checked if these 5 variants exist in the target system, and it does. What other check can we do to find why the jobs failed ?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards

    Hello Gerben,
    I tried to run RSI_IMPORT_ABAP_PROGRAMS and RSI_IMPORT_VARIANTS again, and the variants exist in the target client.
    Actually, I realized that I didn't chose the right client.
    The program runs correctly now with all the variants.
    Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for the inconvenience).
    Regards.

  • "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation."

    I try to install windows7 system on my macbook air, which version is 10.8.5. When I open the bootcamp, it let me to choose a windows ISO image, which I've already downloaded from this website: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325 /, it also asked me to select a USB drive, which is kingston that has 8GB. Then when I clicked "continue", it said that "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." But actually the ISO image I downloaded is 64-bit windows7. I don't know why this would happen. Could someone help me please!!

    Thanks for your feedbakc Kiranjj!
    I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway.

  • C#: 'Not a Valid File Name' error when I know the name and link are correct.

    I'm receiving "Not a valid file name" when I know I have used this link before and the filename is spelled correctly. I'm not sure if I should be looking at something else. This is my connection code.  It fails on "conn.Open()".
    For security reasons, I edited the link... it is not a working link for this question.

  • ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

    I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card.  At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed.  I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message.  At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music.  I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore.   Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

    Here's what I decided to do.  Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes.  I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music.  Everything that transferred plays well.  Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer.  What a PITA!

  • How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

    Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
    Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
    Thanks in advance for Your help!

    There is more than one proxy type.<br />
    Only an anonymous proxy will hide the IP and build two connections, one between you and the proxy and a second connection between the proxy and the website that uses an IP from that proxy.<br />
    A normal proxy merely passes all traffic without affecting it, so websites see your IP in such a case.

  • Is it possible to extract a PDF file into separate ones but using a specific file name that comes from the PDF page?

    Hello,
    I am unsure if this is possible but its worth asking.
    I have a PDF document that contains 56 pages.
    Each page has an 'Agreement Number' at the top left.
    I have managed to successfully extract the pages into separate documents (56 documents) but they are all named the same but page 1, page 2, page 3 etc..
    What i am trying to do is use these 'agreement numbers' in the extraction process so when they save i have 56 different files but they show the agreement number in the file name.
    i have looked into changing the actual page numbers on the page thumbnails to see if you can do it that was to no avail.
    any help would be much appreciated, or tell me i cant do it, at least i know ill be defeated.
    PS i have around 6 or 7 PDF files with 50+ pages so its a long boring task if i need to go and rename all these.
    Cheers
    Jez

    It would be possible in theory to do it with a folder-level script, provided the string you need is in exactly the same structural position on each page. You would use the doc.getPageNthWord() function to collect the string you want, then the doc.extractPages() function to save each page to a file.

  • Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

    I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
    But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
    The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
    Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

    ...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
    Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring  plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
    ~EDIT~
    The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
    Load vs Displ - Displ (inches)    Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)

  • Run Applet On Server Using 8.3 File Name Format

    Hello Everyone,
    I am currently trying to produce an applet that will display content from a PLC (which hosts its own webpage).The PLC itself only allows files using the 8.3 file name format to be stored on it (eg. 123456789.123).
    I have tried a few simple things, such as changing the ".class" file extension to ".cls". But this just produced an error in my internet browser (IE 8).
    Any help and/or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

  • Accidental use of "/" in file names

    I accidentally used a "/" in a filename (I know it's invalid), but came up with some interesting results. The file was on a USB attached drive. On the Mac that had the attached drive I could see the filename. I have two MacBooks that are network attached via wi-fi to the drive via a share on the attached Mac, and on one of them I could see the filename, and on the other I couldn't. Once I dropped the "/" it became visible to the one that couldn't see it.
    Anyone have any suggestions why one MacBook could see it  and the other couldn't?

    As for this being of academic interest, this IS a discussion group.
    Well if you want to discuss, that can be done...
    A long time ago, in an operating system far, far away (namely MacOS) there were no such things as paths, let along delimiters. People had too much trouble dealing with that, so they used ':' as a path delimiter. Anything else was allowed.
    Fast forward to the future and we are using a UNIX system called MacOSX. The only character not allowed is the UNIX filesystem delimiter '/'. However, the Finder, and lots of other legacy programs still allowed '/' in file names and didn't allow ':'. In such programs, there is sometimes some path delimiter magic twiddling going on. In the Finder, you can create a file name with a '/'. If you then run Terminal.app and do a UNIX directory listing, you will see your file with a ':' where the '/' should be. The same thing works in reverse. If you use various modern and/or UNIX tools create a file with a colon in the name, it will show up in the Finder as a '/'. This "feature" is strictly for backwards compatibility. You should consider both characters to be forbidden.
    Plus, if you ever want to share your files with Windows users, you should consider all the assorted Windows special characters to be forbidden too. Depending on what software you use here or there, it may or may not work. There is no real definitive list as software is being modified and upgraded all the time.
    There is nothing wrong with having spaces in file or folder names either. However, some lazy UNIX programmers forget this and things may fail, perhaps spectacularly, if you make heavy use of open-source programs.

  • Finder is unable to locate photos by Title, only by file name

    I was able to locate all my pictures by simply typing words from the title (in fact I did that yesterday morning), but now Finder is unable to locate those files unless I search for the file name (For example: DSC005873.jpg). Why did it stop working? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated as it's a pain in the butt when you've got over 2000 photos.

  • Workflow scanning - Use space in file name

    I configured two Xerox printers (WC 5875 and W 7835), with latest fimware installed, to scan on a windows shared folder using SMB protocol.The scan is working normally. But users experience this "interface" issue: is not possible to use SPACE character on the file name. The space bar is disabled on the printer screen when users try to modify the standard file name. Is it a software limitation? Is it related with SMB protocol? Is it possible to enable space in file name? Thanks in advance for assistance. CLAUDIO

    If the current firmware begins with 072, upgrade to this one here and the option will be enabled for the space bar. 58xx devices 7830 and 7835 If the current software/Firmware begins with 071, I highly suggest a tech call be placed to have an Altboot no data backup no clone to those levels, the increment that changes from 071-072 is major, it is the change from Connectkey 1.0 to 1.5, and when done, due to extensive changes, does not at all play well with updates or clone files.
