  • Reference
Module:
pki

Marks one certificate as having been replaced by another certificate.

Syntax

Switch-Certificate
      [-NotifyOnly]
      [-NewCert] <Certificate>
      [-OldCert] <Certificate>
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Switch-Certificate cmdlet marks one certificate as having been replaced by another certificate. This cmdlet triggers a replace certificate notification and optionally sets the renewal property on the certificate being replaced.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Switch-Certificate -OldCert cert:\LocalMachine\My\E42DBC3B3F2771990A9B3E35D0C3C422779DACD7 -NewCert cert:\LocalMachine\My\4A346B4385F139CA843912D358D765AB8DEE9FD4

This example sets the renewal property of the certificate with the thumbprint E42DBC3B3F2771990A9B3E35D0C3C422779DACD7 as renewed by the certificate with the thumbprint 4A346B4385F139CA843912D358D765AB8DEE9FD4 and generates a replace certificate notification.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Set-Location -Path cert:\LocalMachine\My

PS cert:\LocalMachine\My>$oldCert = Get-ChildItem -Path E42DBC3B3F2771990A9B3E35D0C3C422779DACD7

PS cert:\LocalMachine\My>$newCert = Get-ChildItem -Path 4A346B4385F139CA843912D358D765AB8DEE9FD4

PS cert:\LocalMachine\My>Switch-Certificate -OldCert $oldCert -NewCert $newCert -NotifyOnly

This example locates two certificates in the machine MY store and assigns them the variables $oldCert and $newCert. This cmdlet then generates a replacement notification without changing a renewal property of the old certificate.
