Verify Firewall rules for certificate validation

In order for the win-acme tool to generate a certificate, it needs to be able to reach the machine using the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) the certificate is for. It does this via a HTTP request on port 80 (there are other options, but this is the simplest).  In the Network Security Group for the VM, ensure that both port 443 and port 80 are open to all public IP addresses.

Run win-acme

Open an elevated command prompt (Run as administrator) and change directory to the C:\Program Files\win-acme folder
