KB: “Certificate thumbprint is not found in the personal certificate store" error when you try to migrate to Microsoft Azure

When you select the Migrate to Microsoft Azure option on the Migration Destination screen in Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0 (MVMC 2.0), you may receive the following error message on the Azure Connection page:

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter
The certificate with thumbprint <THUMBPRINT> was not found in the personal certificate store.
OK

NOTE The <THUMBRPRINT> placeholder represents the 40-character certificate thumbprint of your Microsoft Azure certificate.

Specifically, this error occurs after you enter your Subscription ID and Certificate Thumbprint and then click Next.
