Hi all this is the current version I am using on SQL Servers,
$params = @{
DnsName = "$env:COMPUTERNAME", "$env:COMPUTERNAME.lab.net"
KeyLength = 2048
KeyFriendlyName = "SQLServerCert"
KeyAlgorithm = 'RSA'
HashAlgorithm = 'SHA256'
KeyExportPolicy = 'Exportable'
KeySpec = 'KeyExchange'
NotAfter = (Get-date).AddYears(2)
Provider = 'Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider'
CertStoreLocation = 'Cert:\LocalMachine\My'
}
$Cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate @params

SQL Certificate is generated but in CM Window, it is not showing in Certificate Tab under Network configuration. Please help.

You don't need to change the service account to local system if you already gave read permission or full control to the service running the engine on manage private key section of the certificate using MMC.

Sir, i need to know how do i generate a self signed certificate using sha 256 hashing algorithm with minimum 2048 bits key and use that certificate in SQL server ssl encryption? and also can i use this self signed certificate on production environment also?

I tried the same step, but though it creates the certificate, it doesnt appear in the drop downlist of certificate for "Protocol for MSSQLServer Properties". Please help, as I tried in two different instance, and didnt work in either. My server is SQL server 2014 and 2016
