  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

The following Let`s Encrypt certificates have been renewed without some of their Subject Alternative Names:

<none>

Legend:
[+] This domain is secure. The domain's SSL/TLS certificate from Let`s Encrypt has been issued/renewed.
[-] This domain is not secure. Either the domain's SSL/TLS certificate from Let`s Encrypt could not be issued/renewed or the domain name was excluded from the certificate. Renew the certificate manually or request a new one to secure this domain.

Of course I already found a solution as described here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017289399.
Disable SSL/TLS Support on Domain: I activated and deactivated this option and then got a new SSL certificate issued without any problems.

However, I keep getting this email.

I hope you can help me and thank you in advance for your effort.
 
Dear support team, do you already have further information for me? Is this a Plesk bug or an error on my part? How can I fix this?

Thank you
 
Hello Kaspar, I tried some of your links but it didn't help. I'll look at it again over the weekend.

Thank you for your support and help!
