The problem is with the self-signed signed cert for Remote Desktop. I have deleted the certificate, and it recreates itself upon remoting back in to the server. How do you delete the cert permanently? Or is it even possible to remove the self signed certificate from the Remote Desktop certificate store?

Server version is Server 2019.

    Hello amie Kennell

    You can check the installed certificates using the command certmgr.msc.

    1. Press Windows Key + R Key together, type certmgr.msc and hit enter. You will get a new window with the list of Certificates installed on your computer.
    2. Locate the certificate you want to delete and then click on Action button then, click on Delete. You can find the actual registry entries under: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates
      In HKEY_CURRENT_USER for user-specific certificates and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for machine-specific certificates.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,
