SSL Certificate Renewal on Windows Server 2022 Core

Our CA sends auto renewals. In the past I would just process these through the complete certificate request option in IIS Manager. Now that we have Windows Server 2022 core there is no IIS manager on the server. I can remote connect with IIS manager on a different server but there is no Server Certificates icon available.

If I try to process the auto renewal with 'certreq -accept -machine file.crt' it errors out. Presumably because there is not a corresponding request.

Is there a way to process these auto renewals or must I send a new request each time?
 
I had no idea IIS was still a thing. I always found it so clunky and primitive. If it's an option I would just switch to Apache running on Linux. It's just so much easier to manage pretty much every aspect of running a web server. You can setup something like certbot or acme.sh to automate the entire process of certificates.
 
That's certainly one option.

After checking this morning it looks like the certificates are now showing as being associated with their corresponding private key. I did run the certutil.exe -repairstore my [serial number] command for the certs I imported from the auto renewal. Not sure why there was a delay before they appeared to be associated.
