Windows vCenter Server ComponentManager error?

Hello,

I have a really old vCenter Server running on Windows Server 2008R2 and vCenter version 6.0U2.
The certificates expired recently (September 30 2025) and i managed to renew the certificates by using certificate-manager tool (option 4).

Although because the certificates were already expired i had to change the date on windows vcenter server to set it to September 29 (date prior to certificate expiration) and regenerate the certificates.
Otherwise if i didnt do that the procedure will result in error and rollback.

After the certificates were successfully regenerated all the services started successfully and i confirmed that vCenter was using the new certificate by connecting browsing via web client.
However, i was getting an error when attempting to connect using the local SSO administrator account (wrong username or password) and i thought it may help if i restarted the server.

Unfortunately, after the restart the services cannot start, they are stucked at the point where ComponentManager service is supposed to start as after some time this service will display an error.
I checked the cm.log and although i noticed that this time the certificates are verified i get a bunch of errors like the one below:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'cmSiteStore' defined in class path resource [http.xml]:

Does anyone has any idea what is the problem?
