Today, I created my first windows webserver Let’s Encrypt signed certificate, yaay! I’m not to big on windows webservers, but it was very simple, so if your a windows sysadmin. This is a great tool :

This guide describes it pretty nicely :
Has anyone done that fully manually? Without:
Download and install unknown executables onto your live, production server.
Allow it to view your IIS settings.
Allow it to create dirs and files on your server.
Allow it to read and modify your web.config file
Allow it to modify your task scheduler and add reoccurring events.
Allow it to see your private SSL cert.
*I* want to set all that up myself.

The ACME and soon ACME2 protocol is open so you can do it mannually or write your own tools/script for this purpose if you do not trust a 3th party application. But then you should be proficiant enough that you dont need a guide… its efford vs risk. low efford and low risk, vs high efford and low to no-risk. (cause human error is also a risk.)
