Checking Certificate Request Status (Offline Requests) (Command Line)

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

The CheckStatus action is used in offline certificate request scenarios to check the status of a pending certificate request. The /CheckStatus action requires the following syntax.

LCSCmd.exe /Cert /Action:CheckStatus /requestId:<pending request-id> /ca:<certification authority in the form <CAFQDN>\<CAName>> [/caAccount:<Account in the form <CADomain>\<CAUser> or <CAComputer>\<CAUser>>] [/caPassword:<Password for the CA account>] [/L:<log file path>] [/XML[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/?[:{TRUE|FALSE}]]

Such as:

LcsCmd.exe /Cert /Action:CheckStatus /requestId:5 /ca:mydomain\myCA

Where:
