After updating our SE server, Export-ExchangeCertificate now returns “The operation is not supported” when exporting the OAuth certificate, even though it’s marked exportable and permissions are correct. This breaks our DR scripts across all servers.

Need the guidance, thanks

    Hi @Diermeier Lamaralus 

    Based on my research, exporting the Auth certificate together with its private key by using the Export-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet is no longer supported. 

    As an alternative, you may export the certificate by using the Export-PfxCertificate cmdlet, which is the supported approach. You can find more information about this cmdlet in the following reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/pki/export-pfxcertificate?view=windowsserver202… 

    Another option is to use the MonitorExchangeAuthCertificate.ps1 script, which can help you review and manage the Auth certificate status. 

    For additional context and official guidance, you may also refer to Auth Certificate export through Exchange cmdlet is no longer supported - Microsoft Support 

     

    I hope this information helps you move forward.
