Certificate Replacement
Can use the deployment tool to replace the skype certificate.
When replacing the certificate on the edge servers you will need to re-bind the certificate for the "AudioVideoAuthentication" service as this uses the internal skype certificate and for some reason the deployment tool assigns the external CA signed certificate to this service automatically.
Use the following command:
- Set-CsCertificate -Type AudioVideoAuthentication -Thumbprint <Thumbprint of internal cert> -Verbose
Then start the services:
- Start-CsWindowsService
