I needed to import a certificate into a Server 2016 RDS server but it was requesting a .PFX file I did not have, so I had a problem. The certificate I wanted the RDS to use was already installed and functional but the RDS CONFIGURE THE DEPLOYMENT did not show the cert.

Add the CERTIFICATE add-in
- Click FILE > ADD/REMOVE SNAP IN
- Double click CERTIFICATES

Click NEXT button on the CERTIFICATE EXPORT WIZARD > YES, EXPORT THE PRIVATE KEY > NEXT button
Click the PASSWORD checkbox and type the same password into both fields and click NEXT
