Invoke-Command -ComputerName "Server01" -ScriptBlock {Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\Text\TestNoPassword.pfx"} -credentials $mycred

but not getting out put
I expect certificate name, thumbprint, expiry date, like details for pfx certificates same as I got from very first command from the note

Answer 1

Using new cmdlet Get-PfxData resolves the issue.( prob with Get-pfxcertificate is unable to pass password in the script)

$mypwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "1234" -Force -AsPlainText  
  
$mypfx = Get-PfxData -FilePath C:\mypfx.pfx -Password $mypwd| select FriendlyName, notAfter,notefore, thumbprint

Hello anonymous user,

Thank you for posting here.

Would you please tell us what certificate name is? Do you mean frienlyname or certificate name?

I did a test in my lab as below:

1.I have two .pfx certificates (C:\11111.pfx and C:\2222.pfx) on server named DC2019.

2.On another machien, I get the FriendlyName, NotAfter, NotBefore, Subject,Thumbprint of the two certs on DC2019 using command.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName DC2019 -ScriptBlock{"C:\11111.pfx", "C:\2222.pfx"|Get-PfxCertificate|select FriendlyName, NotAfter, NotBefore, Subject,Thumbprint}

Here is the result in my case.

Tip:
1.If you mean friendlyname, in my case, there is no frientlyname.
2.If you mean certificate file name, we can see they are C:\11111.pfx and C:\2222.pfx in my case.

Hope the information above is helpful. If anything is unclear, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
