How to fix revocation error

[@informbiju]

hi Praveen, i cant find the HCW to run an update after a certificate renewal

For anyone coming across this question later on.
You don't need to run the hybrid configuration wizard after you update your certificate.
You can just replace the cert, assign SMTP to it and manually update the connectors. Its not required to run the wizard.
Praveen is just probably following Microsoft's recommendation of running the wizard.
The connector (on your Exchange server) (that routes mail out) to Exchange online needs to be binded to the new certificate though
[PS] C:\>$cert = Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint DE67EC3C8D679AA35D17678FEC51907272B1BAE2
[PS] C:\>$tlscertificatename = "$($cert.Issuer)$($cert.Subject)"
[PS] C:\>Set-ReceiveConnector "EX2016SRV1\HybridRecConnector" -TlsCertificateName $tlscertificatename
