[Solved] SCOM error 20052 : the Subject name on the certificate does not match the local computer name

When you install a SCOM certificate for a standalone server or a gateway, you may get the following error:

event ID 20052 The specified certificate could not be loaded because the Subject name on the certificate does not match the local computer name

To solve this issue:
1. Copy the computer name from the error message
2. Paste it into the Subject attribute of your Certificate Request
3. Paste it also into the Subject Alternate Name section.
Please note that it must be the first entry in the list, or it won’t work.
