renewing remotewebaccess.com certificate fails

Answered

Since several weeks the renewing of the xxx.remotewebaccess.com certificate fails with some side effects to the usage of the WSE App.

On the internet I only found statements like “This is not officially sunset, but in practice, Microsoft is letting it die a slow death — no new investment, little support, and sporadic outages.”

Is there any way to reactivate the certificate update?

 

Thank you in Advance

PS. I don’t want to change to a custom domain during the remaining livetime of the WSE 2016…

AFAIK, the remotewebaccess.com Microsoft domain name feature in Windows Server Essentials is still broken. I’ve gone round and round with Microsoft trying to get this fixed, but in the end it never seems to work for more than a few weeks at a time. :- (

The latest issue does indeed appear to be a problem with being able to sign in to your Microsoft (Live) account via the wizard and there’s nothing I can do about that I’m afraid.

Personally, the only way to avoid these (constant and annoying) issues is to move away from using a remotewebaccess.com domain name and use your own custom/vanity domain name instead. If that’s not something that you want to do, then you’ll just need to contact Microsoft directly and ask/beg them to correct the issue for you.

I have to answer myself….

After some failed attempts, the method of renewing the certificate described in

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/836775/remotewebaccess-com-anywhere-access-broken-on-serv?page=5&orderby=helpful&comment=answer-1911421&source=docs

worked for my WSE 2016.

The problem was apparently, that the wizzard needs a log in to a microsoft account….
