(51192) SSL Certificate Cannot Be Trusted

I just got a Nessus violation on a ESXi host. The ironic thing is I only got it on one host and in vCenter I already did renew Certificate.  It did not appear to resolve it.   I looked at the Certificate on the box in vCenter and it looks fine.

What is the certificate being presented by the host itself?

That's a VMCA signed ceritificate and not a CA certificate which is why it shows not trusted. Why should that be trusted ? Replace with your Microsoft CA or any other CA to get it trusted .

Make sure to have the vpxd.certmgmt.mode to custom when using custom certs .
