Lets Encrypt.. validation did not complete successfully

https://server-essentials.com/support/get-a-free-lets-encrypt-certificate-anywhere-and-automatically-renew-it

Honest, I have read it numerous times...lol

Step 18 passes

But validation does not complete.

Marriette, where was that log in step 22 ?

1. http://remote.domain.com/ - IIS page

2. https://remote.domain.com/remote - I get security issue and when click continue I get RWA is off which I presume is expected as anywhere access has not completed

So ports and forwarded to server are working.

n.b Test server in a Hyper VM, DNS for remote.domain.com returns correct IP

That log is here

Thanks Mariette ( sorry 2 r's earlier...lol ) but if it doesn't complete don't have that option, However....

If helps others, of course I updated remote.domain.com to point to my IPV4  address, what I didn't realise is that LetsEncrypt checks AAAA ( IPV6) first and if there was an entry at domain provider and you didn't change that it will fail. Letsencrypt forum, helping a user suggested deleting IPV6 at domain provider for their issue and then LetsEncrypt will move onto IPV4. 

Updated IPV6 and voila it completed.

Hope this helps someone..
