I'm trying to move nodes from one HPC 2016 cluster to another. The
Move-HpcNode.ps1 script says the move is successful but the nodes do no show on the new headnode.
I get the following message in the provisioning log when I import the nodes on the new head node via xml so I know the issue has to do with the cerificates:
Could not contact node 'COMPUTENODE' to perform change. The X.509 certificate CN=HPC Pack 2016 Communication is not in the trusted people store. The X.509 certificate CN=HPC Pack 2016 Communication chain building failed. The certificate that was used
has a trust chain that cannot be verified. Replace the certificate or change the certificateValidationMode. A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. [The X.509 certificate CN=HPC

Now I know I could just reinstall HPC on the nodes and set up the new headnode's certificates. I'm moving only two nodes so it's not too much work. But if I had to move several more nodes this would be a problem.
Is there an easier way to do this?
