Pre-Requisites:

1. Prepare a PFX certificate

-Microsoft HPC Pack 2016 cluster requires a Personal Information Exchange (PFX) certificate to secure the communication between the HPC nodes. The certificate must meet the following requirements: 1.Have a private key capable of key exchange; 2.Key usage includes Digital Signature and Key Encipherment; 3.Enhanced key usage includes Client Authentication and Server Authentication.You can generate a self-signed certificate which meets the requirements with the following commands and export it as a PFX certificate.

For operating system Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, just run the built-in New-SelfSignedCertificate command as following:

  •   New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject "CN=HPC Pack 2016 Communication" -KeySpec KeyExchange -TextExtension @("2.5.29.37={text}1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2") -CertStoreLocation cert:\CurrentUser\My -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(5) -NotBefore (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
    
  •   New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject "CN=HPC Pack 2016 Communication" -KeySpec KeyExchange -KeyUsage "DataEncipherment,DigitalSignature" -TextExtension @("2.5.29.37={text}1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2") -CertStoreLocation cert:\CurrentUser\My -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(5) -NotBefore (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
    

For operating system earlier than Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, you can download the Self-signed certificate generator from Microsoft Script Center. Extract Extract its contents and run the following command.

"Extract Extract" is the typo.
