We have been working on an Ansible play for deploying the SCOM Linux agent and have all the steps completed with the exception of the certificate. Since Ansible cannot do the manual processing of the certificate I am wondering if a third-party certificate can be used instead? If so, what is the process for doing this? We would be using our internal MS certificate authority to retrieve the certificate in which we should be able to add the command to the Ansible play.

    I believe that should be doable indeed, as long as the Management Servers are trusting the CA that signs the agent certificates...
