Unsolved RDS 3rd party SSL cert

[Mike Davis]

I installed a 3rd party cert for my RDS server. It looks like it's using the cert for everything. The only problem is that the remote computer name is the local name, so when the remote app launches, I get prompted twice:


If I run a script to change the published name, I get this error:

Am I going about this wrong? I believe I used the same script on the last RDS server I built.

If you solve this post please..

I have had the same issue for years but never bothered to fix it.

Here's the powershell script that I used on the last one that I built that seemed to work:
