Hi,

I am trying to configure untrusted server in SCOM 2019 environment and agent server configuration part completed while importing certificate through command prompt in SCOM 2019 management server getting some issue. I have tried to run "MOMCertImport.exe <Untrusted Server Certificate.pfx>" this command and getting message "Certificate Browser dialog is not available on Windows 2000", screenshot also attached.

Please check and provide a solution to import certificate in SCOM.

Regards,

    Hi @VibinRajNadakkal-7146,

    First make sure you have copied the correct MOMCertImport.exe, make sure you copied the MOMCertImport.exe tool from the AMD64 folder, it can be found in the SupportTools folder of the Operations Manager 2019 installation media.

    Full path:

    • System Center Operations Manager 2019\SupportTools\AMD64\MOMCertImport.exe

    And make sure you open the Command Prompt with Run as administrator.

    You can also just right-click the MomCertImport.exe and select Run as administrator, it will check for validity of the certificate, check for private key, correct name and if it is trusted (so if your computers trusts the CA where it came from).

    Here's the command: 

    MOMCertImport.exe /SubjectName "YourServerNameFQDN"

    I would recommend always typing the /SubjectName instead of just typing MOMCertImport.exe and selecting the certificate.

    Here's also a guide for you:
