Heyyy… It’s been a while since i wrote a script, completely been busy with lots of other stuff. Anyways enough of my stuff lets get into the script and how this came as a request.
I had a colleague who asked me if i can get a cert deployed to wide range of workstations. I took this chance to write this quick script to deploy it via SCCM.
Import-Pfxcertificate -FilePath "Path of the Certificate" -Password "Password if required" -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\Root"
The Script is very simple as you can see it requires 2 or 3 (if password is needed to import the Cert) Switches.
-FilePath = where the Cert is located easy way to get it. Locate the Cert and do a Shift + Right click and Copy as a path.
-Password = Some Certs will be password protected (Infact mostly on a Corp environment.) what is did instead of passing the test as it is i created a SecureString Variable as shown below. Which came in handy incase of changing the password for another cert while using the same Script.
-CertStoreLocation = This is where you want to place the Cert.

$pwd = 'Password' | convertto-securestring -asplainText -Force
This $Pwd Variable now can be used across the script rather than using the actual password everywhere in the script.
