Hi,

Does anyone know if there is some way to script the process to export
user certificate? We know using Certificate MMC Snap-in to export user
EFS certificate and private key. Because the process involves so many
steps and technology terms and words, regular users don't even have a
clue when checking the options. Ideally we would like to create a
script and give the users the only option to enter their password when
exporting the EFS certificate.

Anyone, particularly MS online support, knows what API calls we can use
in a VBscript to do this work?


Thanks in advance,

Dean

There is a command line program "cipher" which could be called from a
script. Type cipher /? at a cmd prompt for details. The online docs and XP
help don't have all the switches documented. Cipher /x should do the trick.
