Answer 1

Hello, is this CU23. If so, see:

Answer 2

Hi @Stephan Hager

Agree with the suggestion above,

Import-ExchangeCertificate -Server Mailbox01 -FileData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('\\FileServer01\Data\Exported Fabrikam Cert.pfx')) -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'P@ssw0rd1' -AsPlainText -Force)  

This example imports the same certificate file from Example 1. This method is required in Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019 because the FileName parameter is not available.

Details: Import-ExchangeCertificate
