How to assign a certificate to remote desktop services (Really Quick)

Get the certificate Thumbprint

Put the thumbprint without spaces in the following command below

wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TSGeneralSetting Set SSLCertificateSHA1Hash="PUT-the-THUMB-print-HERE"

copy this command to a administrative command prompt or powershell and hit enter. It should say successful and will now use the certificate you choose.

Many people have errors doing this because your .crt/cer and how they are imported to the personal certificate folder. However if you get your thumprint (like in the video), remove the spaces, double check the extra space in the beginning of the string (video), open cmd line with admin access, run the following script: certutil -repairstore my it will repair the file. Then run wmic PATH Win32_TSGeneralSetting Set What wmic is doing is setting remote desktop to point to your certificate. If you don't do this remote desktop will point to the previous cert on reboot.

Command in the vidoe is:

nice, it worked on win2k8 r2 like a charm! if you getting ' invalid parameter ' please make sure:

1. you import p12 file instead of crt
2. make sure p12 file is available in Machine Personal, as well as Machine Remote Desktop

just got my SSL from noip as we use their dynamic DDNS service to connect to RDP session on work pc. This video along with comment from Your Store Online helped me to get certificate installed and get rid of microsoft remote desktop error 'The Certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority'. Now the error is no more. Thanks to you!

Can someone explain what this fixes? Because the broker server should be pushing any certs that are needed and the Session Hosts should have self signed certs in the remote desktop cert container
