Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate

Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate

Gets a trusted root certificate for Configuration Manager.

Syntax

Parameter Set: GetByName
Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate -CertificationAuthorityServerName <String> [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-CMTrustedRootCertificate cmdlet gets a trusted root certificate for Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager. For native mode communication, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager authenticates, encrypts, and signs communications based on public key infrastructure (PKI) keys that depend on trusted root certificate. Devices that communicate by using certificates must have a root certificate in common. Devices in your System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy might have different root certificates. If so, install all necessary trusted root certificates.

Computers that run the Windows operating system, as well as many other devices, rely on some well-known third-party root certificates. If you deploy your own PKI, install the required root certificate.
