-- For versions of Windows Server prior to Windows Server 2019, each node automatically negotiates a unique certificate for authentication that expires after one year. Currently, the PowerShell DSC registration protocol cannot automatically renew certificates when they are nearing expiration, so you need to re-register the nodes after a year's time. Before re-registering, ensure that each node is running Windows Management Framework 5.0 RTM. If a node's authentication certificate expires, and the node is not re-registered, the node is unable to communicate with Azure Automation and is marked 'Unresponsive.' re-registration performed 90 days or less from the certificate expiration time, or at any point after the certificate expiration time, will result in a new certificate being generated and used. A resolution to this issue is included in Windows Server 2019 and later.
