Syntax
Get-QADLocalCertificateStore [[-StoreName] <string[]>] [[-StoreLocation] {CurrentUser | LocalMachine}] [<CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
Use this cmdlet to retrieve a certificate store by name. The output object can be used to identify the certificate store to search for certificates.
The cmdlet retrieves certificate stores from a specified store location. Certificate stores are used to save certificates on local computers. The certificate stores include:
- Physical stores, where certificates are physically stored on the local computer, in the system registry - Logical stores, to group certificates together in functional categories, by using pointers to the physical stores
The cmdlet supports both physical and logical certificate stores, allowing a store to be retrieved from a particular location. Store locations are high-level containers that hold the certificate stores for the current user and for all users. Each system has two store locations: CurrentUser and LocalMachine (all users).
