Revoking a Certificate

2/9/2009

The following procedure describes how to remove a certificate from a managed Windows Mobile device. To remove a certificate from a managed device, you must first associate the certificate with a Group Policy object (GPO) and then indicate that you want the certificate to be revoked on the managed device(s) to which the GPO will be applied. The certificate will be revoked when the GPO is applied to the managed device(s).

Note

Before you can install or revoke a certificate, it must be in the list of known certificates. For more information, see Importing a Certificate.
