Error creating a self-signed certificate

Question

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup Patch Manager on a Windows Server 2016 VM.  I get the following error while trying to generate a certificate:

The provisioning process is complete. Failed to create the signing certificate. This WSUS server cannot issue a self-signed certificate. To import a signing certificate into the WSUS server, use one of the following supported methods: 1. SetSigningCertificate(string, string) 2. SetSigningCertificate(string, SecureString)

Any help would be appreciated.
