NOTE:
Wild-card certificates seem to make the process much easier for people, as wild-cards will secure any server that is only one level from the root domain. For example, mail.contoso.com, edge.contoso.com, sharept.contoso.com, skype.contoso.com could all be secured by the wild-card for contoso.com. An example that would NOT be secured by the wild-card would be GP.acctng.contoso.com because it is one level too deep. If you do not choose a wild-card, proceed with steps 7-11.
