NAME Add-DbaComputerCertificate
SYNOPSIS
Adds a computer certificate - useful for older systems.
SYNTAX
Add-DbaComputerCertificate [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [[-SecurePassword] <Securestring>] [[-Certificate]
<System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2[]>] [[-Path] <String>] [[-Store] <String>]
[[-Folder] <String>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Adds a computer certificate from a local or remote computer.
PARAMETERS
-Certificate [<System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2[]>]
The target certificate object.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ComputerName [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances. Defaults to localhost.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
