Does leaving/rejoining the farm no longer regenerate the Outbound Certificate in CU5?

 

I tried leaving/rejoining and it's just saying "This certificate is no longer valid" when rejoining, for the outbound certificate. Graying out the proceed button.

 

I had to set the date back again to get it to continue -- with the expired Outbound Cert.

 

Edit: It looks like the old cert thumbprint is being stored in WFManagementDB under table Store.ClusterConfig. I think it's trying to recall it from there?

 

Edit2: Oh yeah, delete WFManagementDB and SBManagementDB and have it recreate them.
