APPLIES TO: no-img-132013 no-img-162016 no-img-192019 yes-img-seSubscription Edition no-img-sopSharePoint in Microsoft 365

SharePoint supports replacing all usage of an existing certificate within SharePoint with a different certificate. For example, if an existing certificate is approaching its expiration and you can replace this existing certificate with a new certificate. Use the Switch-SPCertificate Powershell cmdlet to replace the assignments of the existing certificate with the new certificate. All usage of the existing certificate within SharePoint will then be replaced with the new certificate.

For example:

Switch-SPCertificate [-Identity] <SPServerCertificatePipeBind> [-NewCertificate] <SPServerCertificatePipeBind> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

The cmdlet parameters are:

Parameter Description
Identity The certificate whose assignments you want to replace.
NewCertificate The certificate that should replace all of the assignments of the certificate specified by the Identity parameter.

For example:

Switch-SPCertificate -Identity "Contoso SharePoint (2020)" -NewCertificate "Contoso SharePoint (2021)"
