A. B.A
The solution of exporting the client certificate from Computer1 and installing the certificate on Computer2 does meet the goal of establishing a point-to-site VPN connection to VNet1 from Computer2.
When you configure a point-to-site VPN connection to an Azure virtual network, a client certificate is used to authenticate the connection. In this scenario, Computer1 already has a point-to-site VPN connection to VNet1 using a self-signed certificate. To connect to the same virtual network from Computer2, you need to install the client certificate on Computer2.
Exporting the client certificate from Computer1 and installing it on Computer2 allows you to authenticate the VPN connection from Computer2 to VNet1. The exported certificate can be imported to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on Computer2, which allows Computer2 to trust the certificate and establish the VPN connection.
It's important to note that when using a self-signed certificate, the certificate is not trusted by default and needs to be manually trusted on each computer that connects to the VPN. Therefore, exporting the certificate and installing it on Computer2 is necessary to establish the VPN connection.
In conclusion, the solution of exporting the client certificate from Computer1 and installing it on Computer2 does meet the goal of establishing a point-to-site VPN connection to VNet1 from Computer2.
