Operations Manager 2007: Cert Import Tool
I saw an interesting discussion topic in the Operations Manager 2007 beta newsgroups and wanted to share this information with you. Pete Zerger aksed about what the Cert Import Tool does 'behind the scenes'. Doug Bradley from Microsoft answered that the tool essentially just puts the serial # of the certificate into the registry and stops/starts the HealthService:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Machine Settings]
"ChannelCertificateSerialNumber"
