Rekey

For business or compliance requirements (such as regular key rotation, suspected key leakage, or meeting security audit standards), you can update the key and re-encrypt encrypted virtual machines using the default key provider.

  1. In the navigation pane, select Inventory > VM and Host.

  2. Select the root node.

  3. On the root node details page, click Key Providers.

  4. On the Key Providers tab, click Actions > Rekey.

  5. In the Rekey dialog, click OK.

    This operation re-encrypts all encrypted resources using the new key from the current default key provider.
