Hello anonymous user

The error: 80070057 means "Invalid Parameter". It would help if you could share the cmdlet that you are using to import the certificate. Otherwise, I can recommend this powerful guide about troubleshooting certificate enrollment, specially for superfluous entries in Active Directory for an aborted CA installation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/askds/how-to-troubleshoot-certificate-enrollment-in-the-mmc-certificate-snap-in

Additionally, I would recommend to share your steps and error in a post for the forums of your Certificate provider, as their community may be aware of specific situations or workarounds.

Hope this helps with your query,
