Updated: October 7, 2009
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
You can use this procedure to link the server certificate of a hosted cache server to BranchCache using network shell (netsh) commands.
Important
In this procedure you must use the SHA-1 hash of the hosted cache server certificate that you obtained while performing the previous procedure in this guide. Before using the SHA-1 hash in this procedure, remove all spaces from the SHA-1 hash. Do not replace the spaces with alternate characters, just remove the spaces. If you do not remove the spaces from the SHA-1 hash, the effort to link the certificate to BranchCache will fail.
Membership in Domain Admins, or equivalent is the minimum required to perform this procedure.
