This isn't really SCUP specific in any way. It's just a code-signing cert used 
to sign the updates because WSUS requires this.

I'm assuming that you're using the self-signed certificate created by WSUS, 
correct? If so, then to my knowledge no, there is no way to change this as this 
is deprecated functionality to begin with - that's why you had to make the 
registry change to get it to work in the first place. You need to create your 
own code-signing cert from your own PKI or purchase one to customize it in any 
way.

Ultimately though, why does it matter? The cert is simply used to sign updates. 
Do you really care that this isn't as secure as using a SHA2 cert? You're not 
transmitting state secrets, you're transmitting already public information.

And finally, the thumbprint hash algorithm is in no way a security issue. The 
thumbprint is simply a unique id calculated by hashing the cert itself. It 
provides no actual functionality other than to identify the cert.

Subject: [mssms] Cert for SCUP

I've gone through the install and config for SCUP, and I have it working, but I 
just noticed that the cert thumbprint is done with sha1.  The cert itself is 
sha256.  Is it difficult to replace this?  Is it possible for the SCUP cert to 
use sha2 for thumbprint?  Also, is it possible to add other details to the 
cert, such as SAN, friendly name, etc?
