self-signed certificate for remote desktop

Question

I have two workstation connected in workgroup serverless.
They are connected by remote desktop with a certificate that expired every 6 months.
I need to create a new certificate that expire in 10 years and use it for the next connection.
I made this operations:

• From the host, I created a self-signed certificate that expire in ten years
• From the host I exported the certificate
• Imported the certificate in the client

How do I configure the two workstation in order to connect with the new self-signed certificate?

Thanks

In your position, I'd like recommend you add certificates to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store for a local computer. In other words, you have to import the self-signed certificates to Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on the client workstation.
Launch MMC (mmc.exe).
Choose File > Add/Remove Snap-ins.
Choose Certificates, then choose Add.
Choose Computer Account.
Import new certificate to Console Root\Certificates (Local Computer)\Trusted Root Certification Authorities\Certificates. Specify the file you want to import and follow the instructions in the wizard to complete the process.
