Using CertUtil to register Certificates

The Resource Kit util certutil.exe can be used to automate the management of certificates.

I have used it to automate the importing of required certificates for certain websites. Using an Appsense trigger for Internet Explorer launch we check the users AD group membership and then deploy any neccessary Certificates to them. The certificates are centrally stored so easy to manage should an updated one need to be deployed.

The folllowing command will import a .CER into the current user personal certificate store.

certutil -addtore -user My \\network\share\certs\cert.cer
