Prepare your servers for Secure Boot certificate updates

Windows Server administrators call to action

As the June 2026 expiration date for Secure Boot certificates approaches, Windows Server administrators are encouraged to proactively explore the various methods available for updating these essential certificates. A thorough review of the official step-by-step guidance tailored for IT professionals managing server environments is a prudent first step. This comprehensive resource can be accessed here.

In an effort to provide clarity and support, Microsoft has conducted Secure Boot Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) sessions in December 2025 and February 2026. These sessions offered valuable technical insights and addressed common inquiries regarding certificate expiration and the update process. For those who were unable to attend, recordings of these informative discussions are now available for on-demand viewing.

Looking ahead, administrators are invited to participate in upcoming Secure Boot AMAs scheduled for March and April. These sessions will continue to foster dialogue and provide answers to pressing questions. Additionally, following Windows Events on the Microsoft Tech Community will ensure that you remain informed about future events, including the next session titled “Secure Boot certificate updates explained – Microsoft Technical Takeoff.”

To stay updated and access centralized guidance, it is advisable to bookmark the Windows Secure Boot certificate updates page.
