Vista - Managing issued certificates on a Certificate Authority

I'd like to manage issued certificates that reside on my Certificate
Authority. For instance, I would like to write a script to get the
expiration date of certs that have been issued.

Can someone point me in the right direction to do this from Powershell?
I've looked at the cert provider but I'm not sure this is what I need.

Thanks

I thought I had at least a bit of certificate knowledge but I don't
understand how you can find out one that's not been issued.

This very well make perfect sense but not to my poor head. Hopefully someone
with more experience can explain that part; about all I can think about is
looking at the date which the certificate takes effect is that what you want?
If so look at GetEffectiveDateString().

Here is a one liner that will get you the dates these certificates expire
along with the thumbprint.

Add -Recurse to have it iterate through the certificate store.
Hopefully this is obvious that you've already move to the location of
interest in the store i.e. cd cert:\currentuser\My

## must already be within the certificate store to execute this.
gci | % {$_.Thumbprint; $_.GetExpirationDateString()}

Hi, Bob! IIUC, mhbarton ask for certificate management on Certification
Authority (not local certificate store). On CA you can find folowing
sections:
Revoked Certificates
Issued Certificates
Pending Request
Failed Requests.

(in last two sections you can find certificates, that never haven't issued)
PowerShell doesn't provide native support for this (may be here is .NET
support). AndI recomend to see to certutil.exe utility.

I was playing around with this stuff and I wrote a DOS script (with
lots of bugs it in) that manages certs for me. You might be able to
use my script as a basis for writing a Powershell script that does the
same kind of stuff:
