function Remove-DbaComputerCertificate { <# .SYNOPSIS Removes a computer certificate - useful for removing easily certs from remote computers .DESCRIPTION Removes a computer certificate from a local or remote compuer .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer - defaults to localhost .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials .PARAMETER Thumbprint The thumbprint of the certificate object .PARAMETER Store Certificate store - defaults to LocalMachine (otherwise exceptions can be thrown on remote connections) .PARAMETER Folder Certificate folder .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaComputerCertificate -ComputerName Server1 -Thumbprint C2BBE81A94FEE7A26FFF86C2DFDAF6BFD28C6C94 Removes certificate with thumbprint C2BBE81A94FEE7A26FFF86C2DFDAF6BFD28C6C94 in the LocalMachine store on Server1 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaComputerCertificate | Where-Object Thumbprint -eq E0A071E387396723C45E92D42B2D497C6A182340 | Remove-DbaComputerCertificate Removes certificate using the pipeline .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaComputerCertificate -ComputerName Server1 -Thumbprint C2BBE81A94FEE7A26FFF86C2DFDAF6BFD28C6C94 -Store User -Folder My Removes certificate with thumbprint C2BBE81A94FEE7A26FFF86C2DFDAF6BFD28C6C94 in the User\My (Personal) store on Server1 .NOTES Tags: Certificate Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = "High")] param ( [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer", "SqlInstance")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName, Mandatory)] [string[]]$Thumbprint, [string]$Store = "LocalMachine", [string]$Folder = "My", [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { #region Scriptblock for remoting $scriptblock = { param ( $Thumbprint, $Store, $Folder ) Write-Verbose "Searching Cert:\$Store\$Folder for thumbprint: $thumbprint" $cert = Get-ChildItem "Cert:\$store\$folder" -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Thumbprint -eq $Thumbprint } if ($cert) { $null = $cert | Remove-Item $status = "Removed" } else { $status = "Certificate not found in Cert:\$Store\$Folder" } [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME Store = $Store Folder = $Folder Thumbprint = $thumbprint Status = $status } } #endregion Scriptblock for remoting } process { foreach ($computer in $computername) { foreach ($thumb in $Thumbprint) { if ($PScmdlet.ShouldProcess("local", "Connecting to $computer to remove cert from Cert:\$Store\$Folder")) { try { Invoke-Command2 -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -ArgumentList $thumb, $Store, $Folder -ScriptBlock $scriptblock -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message $_ -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $computer -Continue } } } } } } |
