When using the VMware Certificate Authority as an Intermediate Certificate Authority, the initial action that should be taken is to replace Solution User Certificates. This step is crucial as these certificates allow for secure communication between VMware products and services by establishing trusted connections.

Utilizing the Intermediate CA means that you're leveraging a certificate hierarchy, where the Intermediate CA is responsible for issuing the Solution User Certificates. Replacing these certificates ensures that your communication remains secure and compliant with the necessary security protocols.

The other options might involve important tasks related to certificate management, but they don't serve as the first step when establishing a working relationship with an Intermediate Certificate Authority. The focus on Solution User Certificates reflects a foundational aspect of securely setting up the environment, which must occur before other certificate replacements can be effectively managed.
