Description

It looks like the Set-RDCertificate cmdlet has a -Thumbprint option that lets you use a existing certificate in the localmachine\my environment. However, i don't think this is supported in the DSC version yet.

It would be great if we where able to use this feature. That way we can install the certificate from a kv directly onto our local store in the vm and configure rds with it

Research direction

The request concerns the Set-RDCertificate cmdlet's -Thumbprint behavior and the DSC resource that configures RDS certificates. Start by locating that resource entry point and comparing its inputs with the cmdlet option. Done means an existing certificate in the local machine\my store can be selected by thumbprint for RDS configuration.
