How to get the expiration date after a certificate deployment?

Question

Hello,

I am looking for a process in Configuration Manager to get the expiration date on a certificate.
I just deployed a certificate and it is placed in an application folder as CA.cer.

Powershell?

Thanks,
Dom

Hi @Duchemin, Dominique

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Can you try using the cmdlet "Get-ChildItem"?, for example:

Get-ChildItem -path cert:\LocalMachine\My | Select-Object NotAfter, Subject  

For reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/about/about_certificate_provider?view=powershell-7.2

I hope this helps!

Hi, @Duchemin, Dominique

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

ConfigMgr doesn't collect any information about certificate by default.
You may start for adding this follow this article:

Hello @Duchemin, Dominique

Not sure I understand your question. System Center is not the right tool to monitor certificate expiration dates, but they need to be controlled from the CA role in Windows or using powershell.

I can recommend the next official guide to obtain different information from the certificates installed in your environment and even export to a CSV to keep it documented.

If you query is different than this, please add more details and specifics of what has been done, and what you are are trying to achieve.

Hope this helps with your query,
