Hi,

I am new to this and appreciate some patience from the community.

I am trying to renew the certificate using Win-acme.

- Run wacs.exe on a windows 10 pro with IIS.

- select "R: Run renewals"

- and I got Renewal failed.(see picture)

- select A: Manage Renewals

- select D: Show details for renewal

- and the history log show "validation fail"

Any advice how to fix this?

Thanks
