Enable SSL

I have read the MSDN articles about setting up SSL on the SQL server. I am
running Microsoft Certificate services on my network as well. The article t
alks about the following
Enter the fully qualified domain name of your computer in the Name: text box
. Ping your computer to get the fully qualified domain name if you are not s
ure what it is.
In the Intended Purpose section, change the selection to Server Authenticati
on Certificate by using the drop-down list box from the Client Authenticatio
n Certificate.
I cannot seem to find these options anywhere...How do I change the FQDN if I
have no name field...I don't even have an intended purpose dropdown list.
I can issue a computer certificate from the MMC on the SQL Server but it doe
s not use the FQDN of the c
luster I am trying to setup. How can I get this to work if I cannot see the
options that these articles are telling me? I am logging in with Domain Ad
min rights as well.
Ignore my last post...I forgot my email address...That article is if you make a http request to a Standalone Certificate
Cerver.
If you have a standalone CA you have to use http request to request the
cert. Follow this article:

If you installed the Enterprise CA as part of Active Directory, then you
can use MMC. Follow this article.
