Hi

We have a couple of security certificates that need adding to a lot of
clients and we are contemplating many ways to do this. They are to be
imported into the:

Trusted Root Certification Authorities\Local Computer

and I'm wondering is there a silent batch file that can be tun to accomplish
what i want? i.e. something that could be put into the startup of some
clients?

Thank you for your time

Hi,

You can use the command line utility certmgr.exe for this, a
cryptoAPI/Authenticode tool from MS.

To add a certificate to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
in localMachine:

certmgr.exe -add -c "<cert-file>" -s -r localMachine root

where <cert-file> is the path to the certificate file.


Current users personal certificate store command line:

The download location for certmgr.exe at Microsoft have been removed,
but you can use the one that is inside this zip file:
