The ImportPFX action is used to import a certificate to the local computer. For example, you can import a certificate if you have exported a certificate from another computer and want to use that same certificate on the local computer. The /ImportPFX action requires the following syntax.

LCSCmd.exe /Cert /Action:ImportPFX /Filename:<file name> /Password:<password>   [/assign:{TRUE|FALSE}] [/Components:{AP | DP | MR | INTERNAL}] [/exportable[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/L:<log file path>] [/XML[:{TRUE|FALSE}]] [/?[:{TRUE|FALSE}]]

Such as:

LcsCmd.exe /Cert /Action:ImportPFX /Filename:C:\ExportedCertificate.pfx /Password:CertPAssw0rd
