December 24, 2019

Local certificates provide a multitude of security benefits. From encrypting emails and allowing easier authentication, to securing connections between web browsers and your web servers, they're a necessary part of any network. Learn how to monitor changes to local certificates with SolarWinds® Server Configuration Monitor.

  • I wrote about this script (and others) on this Product Blog: Manage and Monitor PowerShell Scripts

    But here is the script if you need it immediately.

    $AllCertificates = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My -Recurse

    # Create an empty list to keep the results

    $CertificateList = @()

    ForEach ( $Certificate in $AllCertificates )

    {

        # Check to see if this is a "folder" or a "certificate"

        if ( -not ( $Certificate.PSIsContainer ) )

        {

            # Certificates are *not* containers (folders)

            # Get the important details and add it to the $CertificateList

            $CertificateList += $Certificate | Select-Object -Property FriendlyName, Issuer, Subject, Thumbprint, NotBefore, NotAfter

        }

    }

    $CertificateList | Sort-Object -Property FriendlyName

  • Hi Kevin,

    Where can I find the text of that Powershell script?  I like to try it out, can you provide a link or the text?

    Thanks
