N While upgrading the Management Agent on the IaaS virtual machines, a VMware public certicate is
temporarily installed in your Trusted Publishers certicate store. The Management Agent upgrade process
uses a PowerShell script that is signed with this certicate. When the upgrade is nished, this certicate is
removed from your certicate store.
