vCenter 6.0 Certification Manager Issue

Hello,

I have vcenter running on a Server 2012 R2 VM and I am trying to use Certificate Manager to replace the vCenter cert with one from my microsoft CA by following this process:

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=21122...

I choose option 1, enter the administrator@vshere.local credentials, but then I get the following:

Performing operation on distributed setup, Please provide valid Infrastructure Server IP.


My PSC is integrated so I'm not quite sure what distributed setup would mean. I've tried entering the IP of my vCenter server but when I complete the steps no files are generated.


Any ideas?


Thanks,


Chris

You have to start with option 5 in the linked KB.

This will make sure the machine certificate as well as solution user certificates are updated with your CA signed certs.

While this may be the correct option I am still receiving the prompt for Infrustructure Server which I believe is incorrect for having an integrated PSC.
