Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate

Reference

Module:: ConfigurationManager

Gets a trusted root certificate for Configuration Manager.

Syntax

Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate
   [-CAServerName <String>]
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate cmdlet gets a trusted root certificate for Configuration Manager. For native mode communication, Configuration Manager authenticates, encrypts, and signs communications based on public key infrastructure (PKI) keys that depend on trusted root certificate. Devices that communicate by using certificates must have a root certificate in common. Devices in your Configuration Manager hierarchy might have different root certificates. If so, install all necessary trusted root certificates.

Computers that run the Windows operating system, as well as many other devices, rely on some well-known third-party root certificates. If you deploy your own PKI, install the required root certificate.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples
