I received an alert that the certificate used for authentication is about to expire on one of my management servers. I've checked under the Certificates MMC and I don't see any cert that is going to expire anytime soon. Will I not see the OpsMgr cert listed under the Certificates MMC?

I understand how to obtain a new cert and load it with MOMCERIMPORT. The thing I'm confused about is that I'm not seeing any certificate on the management server that are expiring anytime soon. I also checked the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Machine Settings --> ChannelCertificateSerialNumber key and then searched the Certificate MMC for that same serial number and come up with nothing. Will I see the expiring SCOM certificate anywhere under Certificates (Local Computer)? Would it be the cert listed under Certificates --> Operations Manager?

Issue resolved. Ran the MOMCERTIMPORT tool.
