Certificate error on new 2.5 client I dont want to ignore it how do you fix the issue?

When we login for the first time to a new 2.5 VI client it promts you letting you know of a certificate error, we are trying to run powershell scripts that use the windows api so they cant ignore the cretificate issue any way around this?

It's not really an error. It's a warning. Certificates are for your protection to ensure the machine you are connecting to is the machine that has been certified, otherwise if you get spoofed you may connect to a machine that isn't a real ESX. Most companies this isn't a problem since you have a firewall.

but you can get an optional certificate, otherwise you can just ignore it. You can get a public one like Verisign, of course they cost money...
