3. On the SECURITY tab, select the loaded certificate, and click remove. Now when an attempt to enumerate (Browse the selections or attempt a backup) the server is made, it should prompt that it is currently untrusted and offer to install a certificate.

Or

Uninstall the Remote Agent for Windows from the remote server and push install the remote agent .
