Hyper-V team just published a new KB article called “Configuring Certificates for Virtual Machine Connection“ that talks about the way Hyper-V uses certificates and how to set it up. They also explain why we need them, something that might help new users and customers. This article provides information to folks who need to set this up and to folks who wanted to know how to work around wildcard certs.

It was put together by a member of our Test team, Krishna, at the request of our product support folks and now it’s here for you.

Enjoy it :D
