Windows Admin Center changes certificate after install
I have installed Windows Admin Center on a new Windows Server 2022 in Azure (with AAD) and using my own signed certificate. I get it up and running and at some point, after the install, the certificate is changed without my intervention. It begins to use a certificate from arc.waconazure.com which fails due to it missing the Subject Alternate Name. Either way I have been running into this constantly and i eventually have to run a PowerShell script that changes the certificate thumbnail back. It happens frequently. What can I do to ensure that the certificate thumbnail never changes?
- Hi there, this isn't usually the case on upgrade to 2311. At least not with AD CS issued certs.
There's WAC integrated in Azure how about using this as an alternative?
Check Azure Arc pane.- David HurstCopper ContributorI've seen the same issue. I have tried running WAC from different Windows Servers (2016 and 2022) in the same domain and it keeps happening. I have tried versions 2211, 2306, and now 2311.
- if you can repro it, your best shot is using Azure Support to report it. Thank you for your time in advance.
