I had to create a new Exchange Auth Certificate that had not expired because of an Exchange Patch. The creation went fine. I thought running the following command would clear the previous certificate.
Set-AuthConfig -ClearPreviousCertificate
The previous certificate still shows in EAC. Is it ok to delete from EAC. Thanks.

Hi @mara2021 ,
Agree with Andy that if the renewed certificate looks good, you can remove the previous Exchange Auth Certifcate via either EAC or the Remove-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet.

Set-AuthConfig -ClearPreviousCertificate
Yea that doesnt remove the actual cert:

The ClearPreviousCertificate switch clears the certificate saved as the previous certificate in the authorization configuration.
If you renewed it and it looks good, you can delete the old one.
Thank you.
