I run letsencrypt program on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5. I try to generate a SAN certificate for all bindings of multiple IIS sites but I receive this error PathTooLongException. If I reduce the number of sites, the program generates and installs correctly the new certificate. But I need to generate a certificate for all web sites installed (85 domain name). Can i solve this problem. Thanks
I moved this to "Help" as a more accurate topic. Normally you're provided with a list of questions when opening a topic under Help originally. Could you please fill out the following? There are dozens of Let's Encrypt clients you could be using, and even more different ways you could be going about attempting to use these clients, so we really do need more information to help.
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

Thank you
Ok, so I’m not very familiar with the Lets-Encrypt-Win-Simple client (it seems to have been abandoned as well, last update was over two years ago), but I don’t believe that error should be the result of having too many domains listed. I believe the issue is that your web root paths may be too long. Windows can’t handle filenames greater than 260 characters. Since Let’s Encrypt challenge file names are around 44 characters long already, that leaves 216 characters for the rest of the filename. Given that they are placed under the web root in /.well-known/acme-challenge/ that takes you down to around 188 characters. Are these websites hosted out of particularly long directories?
My directories have 15/20 characters (60/70 with full path). I see that letsencrypt generate a certificate with a name very long. It has the list of id as name. I attached a print screen… Could it be that the problem? Can I customize the certificate name from a parameter?
