Renew Windows Server Essential Certificate for Remote Access

On my Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2, the certificate for remote access has expired. It also tells me that the server is not connected to the Internet. But this is not the case because the server can also download updates. I have tried the automatic fixes for the certificate problem but to no avail. Is there another (manual) way to renew the certificate?

Thank you.

I don't know if it's your case but it seems there are several known issues within the last months

Thank you very much. That would explain a lot. I haven't needed remote access for a few months because I've been working from my home office. Then last week I was in Germany for a few days and could no longer access my system because the certificate had expired. You should be able to store the certificate manually in the certificate store - if you could get it somewhere.
