    Hello,

    You can follow these steps:

    1. Open the Certificate Authority console on the server where the certificate was issued.
    2. Locate the expired certificate in the Issued Certificates folder.
    3. Right-click on the certificate and select Renew Certificate with Same Key.
    4. Follow the prompts to renew the certificate.
    5. Once the new certificate is issued, you can export it and import it into the appropriate certificate store on the server where it is needed.

    It is important to note that renewing a certificate with the same key should not impact any services that are currently using the certificate. However, it is always recommended to test the new certificate thoroughly before deploying it in a production environment.

    Best Regards,
