i request your help because i am a bit lost, i try to set up a https Listener for remote management on a Win2208 HyperV

I first try :

winrm quickconfig -transport:https

i issue the error : 

Cannot create a WinRM listener on HTTPS because this machine does not have an appropriate certificate. To be used for SSL, a certificate must have a CN matching the hostname, be appropriate for Server Authentication, and not be expired, revoked, or self- signed.

like suggest by some papers, i use the next command to get more suitable informations :

winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS @{Hostname="SERVER1";CertificateThumbprint="1d9256aea461788764cec1904463120f094393f9"}

and got message: 

"A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated."

I know my certificate is ok, because i have add to fix EKU and CN to match HOSTNAME according previous failure Message… But i do not understand this last one ? and how to fix.

Any help appreciate.

I finally got my response... i was missing the privatekey during the export/import.

This fix the problem ..

now guys, if you encoutered this message : "A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated."

Check if you have the privatekey embeded with tour certificate !!!!1
