Save the backup pfx file to complete the backup operation.

Refer to the second part, "installing the server certificate" section, the intermediate CA installation configuration section installs two intermediate CA certificates into the server. Then go to the server certificate management page of the IIS Management console, right-click and select "Import"

Select your pfx format certificate backup file and enter the key file protection password.

If you select Mark this key as exportable, you can export the private key from the server later. When this option is not selected, the private key cannot be exported from the current server.
