Certificate Installer
The Certificate Installer is designed to instruct your agents to trust software signed with the new VMware Carbon Black certificate. Otherwise, when a future agent host package installer or rules installer is signed with that certificate, it may be blocked from installing.
Instructions for use for CB App Control version 8.1.6
The Certificate installer is a self-extracting zip. It can be uploaded to the server using the "Update Agent/Rule Versions" page in the console, the same way agent host packages are installed. It will then be automatically placed into a specific directory where the CB App Control Reporter service will detect it and execute the zip. It is also possible to move it to the server directly and run it, but the upload page is the recommended method
Instructions for use for CB App Control version 8.1.4
The certificate installer utility cannot be uploaded to the server using the “Update Agent/Rule Versions” page in version 8.1.4. It is possible to move it to the server directly and run it. Alternatively, customers running version 8.1.4 may run the SQL script provided instead of using the method above.

Log File
The certificate installer (whether run via the upload page or executed manually) will create a log file in %temp%\. If the install is successful the file is copied to C:\Program Files (x86)\Bit9\Parity Server\Support\.
The file will be named something like this: CertificateInstaller-2019-05-22-152654.log
Every time it is run, a unique file name will be generated, so you don't have to worry about overwriting one and losing it.
Troubleshooting
If the Upload Fails?
- Check the error log for more details
- If the error code is 0, check the windows logs and procmon. In one example, it turned out Windows Defender was deleting the installer pretty much instantly. It could be Windows Defender or another AV product.
