Hello,

The objective is to list the Server name and Cert Issuer for any Cert found in the LocalMachine\My store on all servers in a Domain.

Once I'd get to a server, probably by PS remoting, I'd issue the following:

dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse | ? Issuer -like '*'

However, the output is Thumbprint and Subject, but I really need to see the Issuer, or what is displayed in the Certificates MMC under the 'Issued By' column.  What I need in my output is the following:

ComputerName       Issuer

Srv1                       Acme Cert Auth

Srv2                       Host1.Acme.Com

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here's something you can try:

Get-Content .\computerList.txt | ForEach {

    $computerName = $_

    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -ScriptBlock {

        Set-Location Cert:\LocalMachine\My

        Get-ChildItem | 
            Select @{N='Computer';E={$env:COMPUTERNAME}},Issuer

    }

} | Select Computer,Issuer

As you might suspect it is even easier than that:

$omputers |
    ForEach-Object{
        invoke-command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock {dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse}
    } |
    select PSComputerName, Issuer

Both work great!

Thanks for the response and help Mike and Jrv!

        invoke-command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock {dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse}
    } |
    select PSComputerName, Issuer

I wasn't really trying to do it differently but wanted to point out that PS decorates most things returned from a remote session.  It can make buiding object collections and reports much easier.

Consider that remoting will be the replacement for WMI with CIMOM.
