I have a love-hate relationship with software where options are not documented, or not well documented. Take for instance the ‘certutil’ executable in the Server 2003 Resources. There is NO better way to retrieve a list/number of certs from the server, but the last time I had a major backup to do was a while back, so tonight, I had to do it all over again. Ugh…
Anyways, It’s done, and I’m now a couple hundred PFX files happier. For anyone interested in the ‘how’, try using the following, remember that Microsoft IDs the certs from 0 up, so:
Start with a for loop:
for /L %a in (1,1,200) DO
add in the cert process:
certutil -p password -exportPFX %a cert%a.pfx
set those together, and you get a really nice list of PFX files to import into a new server, there’s even an option to -importPFX to allow that function to run smoothly, though I won’t get into that one today.
Very good put up, I am viewing back usually looking for up-grades.
Which came first, the problem or the solution? Luclkiy it doesn’t matter.
