When I want to change the server where the SCCM database is stored, I receive the following error messages

ERROR: Failed to create SQL Server [server1.troncoso.com] certificate remotely.
ERROR: Failed to create SQL Server certificate on server server1.troncoso.com
Bootstrap operation failed.
Failed to create machine certificate on server server1.troncoso.com

Do you know any way to solve it?

    Hi, @Roger Salgado Izaguirre

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Do you mean you are trying to move SCCM Database from the current SQL Server to a new SQL Server?
    If so, you may need to export SQL Certificate from (Personal Certificates) in the new SQL Server and import it in (Trusted People) in SCCM Server.

    You may refer to below thread for more details:
