'how to install certificate by command?

I would like to install a certificate on a live and acceptance windows server. It should be possible with some command. I have did it before but cannot find it. I think it was something with "WinHttpCertCfg.exe".

Does someone know what the command is, or can send me to some website. Thanks alot..

You can add the Windows Certificate Store using commandline:

certmgr.exe -add "Path\To\Cert\MyCertificate.cer" -s -trustedpublisher

You will need, of cause, administrative rights do this.

You can find further information here.

Hint: If you are adding a self-signed certificate you will need to add the certificate which the new one derives, too. (Example: If you created your own CA intermediate certificate, you will need to add this to the Certificate Store as well)

I make it works with the following command:

certmgr.exe /c /add my_cert.cer /s root

I've tested it in Windows 7 and Windows 10. Here is the command:

certutil -f -addstore CA <file_with_extension_and_complete_path>

#certutil -f -addstore CA "D:\test\random.der"

Thanks.
