Retrieving a certificate from a CA
I am curious if/how I can re-download an issued certificate from a CA. I have some machines that have been issued certificates and instead of requesting new certs I would like to just re-download the certs that were already issued. Is that possible and if so how can I go about d

So I remembered that I can open the issued certs from the CA console and copy to file. However, I'm unable to copy the private key using this method and I will need the private key.

Hi Vincent,

Sorry for the delay.

>>However, I'm unable to copy the private key using this method and I will need the private key.

The key pairs are generated on the client and the private key is stored locally. CA only sign the client's public key.

If we only delete the certificate from MMC, after importing the certificate, we can use the command below to re-associate the private key.

certutil -repairstore my "<var class="sbody-var">SerialNumber</var>"

For detailed procedure, please refer to the link below:

Best Regards.
