Summary: Learn how to use Windows PowerShell to get an SSL certificate from an internal certification authority.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to get an SSL certificate from an internal certification authority (CA)
and import it to my web server's local certificate store?
Use the Get-Certificate cmdlet, specify the template, the DNS name, subject, and store location, for example
(this is a one-line command broken to fit on the webpage):
Get-Certificate -Template WebServer -DnsName "webserver.contoso.com"
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -SubjectName “webserver1.contoso.com”
Note The certificate cannot be marked exportable using this method.
