To move a certificate

  1. Open the certificates console for the user, computer, or service you want to manage.

    Tip

    For instructions on creating a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that allows you to manage the certificates of a user account, computer account, or service account, see the appropriate article from the following list

  1. Manage certificates for your user account

  2. Manage certificates for a computer

  3. Manage certificates for a service

  1. Under the appropriate logical store (e.g. Personal, Trusted Root Certification Authorities, Intermediate Certification Authorities, and so on) where the certificate is stored, click Certificates.

  2. In the details pane, click the certificate you are moving. (To select more than one certificate, hold down CTRL and click each certificate.)

  3. On the Action menu, click Cut.

  4. Click the logical certificate store where you want to move the certificate.

  5. On the Action menu, click Paste.

Note

  • To perform this procedure, the view mode must be organized by Logical Certificate Stores. For more information, see Display certificate stores in Logical Store mode.

  • You can only move an object within certificate stores in Certificates. For example, you cannot move an object to a folder in Windows Explorer. See Related Topics for information about importing and exporting certificates.

    • Information about functional differences

    • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
