Trying to use a custom domain name I purchased from GoDaddy for WHS2011 ( instead of *.homeserver.com for RDP). When configuring/setup of remote access feature in WHS I
1) enter custom domain_name.com
2) enter GoDaddy account credentials
But WHS2011 returns message "the process cannot be completed at this time" (nothing more).
I tried this many times on multiple days, the last of which I was on the phone with Go Daddy support who said my problem may be because I need a SSL certificate.... which they preceded to sell (a first for tech support call).
Now I own an SSL cert and generated CSR according to 7 page "help" that Go Daddy provided
here but still cannot get remote desktop access to work. All required router ports are open/forwarded correctly.
Do I even need an SSL certificate? I used WHS v1 for long time successfully without one ( but without a custom domain name either?) Is DynDNS service I use causing the problem?
Any ideas are appreciated.
