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?

- I'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.
- I finally have a solution to my issue. I have WAC running on an Azure VM. The Windows Admin Center extension was installed but disabled on my Azure VM. I worked with Azure Support and someone from the development team. They said that you cannot have Windows Admin Center agent installed on your WAC host either through VM extensions or Azure ARC extensions.
Once I uninstalled the extension, removed and reinstalled WAC MSI on the host, it works and issue is resolved.
The developer said they will look at adding a warning or message on the installer to warn against this extension. - if you can repro it, your best shot is using Azure Support to report it. Thank you for your time in advance.
- Thank you. I will try that. I opened a support ticket from the M365 Admin portal and they were of no use and closed my ticket. I had to explain to the tech what Windows Admin Center was
