Powershell - Renew certificate

Question

Hi,

We have an Windows PKI infrastructure, that is the CA of all our internal certificates.
Ive requested an certificate using Powershell (Get-Certificate), and the certificate have been issued.

The certificate lasts for 30 days, but i cant seem to find any Powershell functions, that renews (not request an new certificate) in the PKI module, that supports this.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/pki/?view=windowsserver2019-ps

It seems that in order to complete this task, i have to use certreq... but i would prefer to keep this in Powershell.

Is it true that the PKI module dont support renewals, and that i have to use certreq?

Answer 2

Hi,

I already found that article, but was hoping there was an alternative.
Was hoping for an built-in feature, that i had missed :)

But i guess i have to use that script then.
