Hi,

On the server, we can use the MMC.MSC to generate CSR.
To generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) via a MMC certificate snap-in using Microsoft Windows, perform the following steps.
From Microsoft Windows, click Start.
In the Search programs and files field, type mmc.
Click File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
From the list of available snap-ins, select Certificates.
Click Add.
Select Computer account.
Click Next.
Select Local computer (the computer this console is running on).
Click Finish.
In the Add/Remove Snap-in window, click OK.
Save these console settings for future use.
Access your MMC snap in > right click the Personal folder.
Select All Tasks > Advanced Operations > Create Custom Request.
