Thanks for the help all! As far as I can tell you can not use the certificate snap-in to create a certificate request for a third-party CA. If you try it will fail claiming that it can not contact the CA server.
If you install the CA management tool and then try to make a request the certificate snap-in will auto-enroll your system and return the certificate. You will not be given a chance to create a request that can then be sent off for signing to a third party CA. To get around this I made sure that my CA certificate was imported into "trusted root" section of the certificate snap-in for the system. Then on the openssl CA I created a key then request then signed the request with the CA's key then created a PKCS12 file from the newly cerate server key and sign certificate. I carried the pkcs12 file over to the server and imported it with the certificate snap-in for the system's personal container. I checked so see if 636 was up and listing then use openssl s_client to connect and test. Everything seems to be working but I still need to test Linux clients using LDAPS agsinst this configuration. I went from Novell to Unix to M$ windoze to Linux |--Linux -------------| err well almost, thanks M$ for making the choice of being dragged over a mile of glass perferable to integrating other systems.
