Windows Certificate Authority, unable to export PFX12

Hi there,


I am trying to get A CSR signed by my Windows Certificate Authority. its for a Dell iDrac. Everything works fine however I cannot export the cert as PFX12.
I already cloned my default webserver template to include the allow private key to be exported. Created a new cert with the template.
Rebooted all services, however it remains greyed out. Also when I import the cert on a server and try to export it from there, I get the same result.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks, however, I get this error:

This is because the private key is not exportable on the certificate..
So in this case, you have to fallow this work around

the cert does not popup. I have tried to install the serverXXX cert on serverYYY on the localmachine store
Other certs owned by serverYYY do popup when I run the command : dir cert:\localmachine\my | Where-Object { $_.hasPrivateKey }
