A while back, I got my hands on this script from VMware through a support case, and honestly it’s been a game-changer.
Whether it was checking certificate anchors between multiple vCenter servers in Linked Mode, clearing out backup stores, or replacing all certificates in one shot, this script made the whole process so much easier.
Now the good news: Broadcom finally made it official! They’ve published a full guide and released the script publicly.
If you manage vCenter environments, this is definitely something you’ll want to keep in your toolkit.
